Of special interest to me are those individuals who have been raised to believe that they are not special, and experience the suffering resulting from focusing more on the needs and feelings of others than their own. I assist my clients in developing their personal boundaries and limitations required to establish their own equal "space" within relationships, and to achieve the necessary freedom from re-enacting their familial role and associated feelings with that role.

Everyone can enjoy a satisfying life of love, work and play. However, we may find ourselves in personal patterns, relationships, or with life issues that keep us from living to our fullest. Though circumstances and illness are difficult, our manner of dealing with them determines whether we are happy or sad, engaged or depressed, relaxed or anxious, and even feeling physically unwell or healthy. Trauma and poor coping are often related to our past desperate attempts to take care of ourselves in difficult situations. Through a passionate, humor-filled, authentic journey we can seek to understand and change your life.

Do you reflect and wonder why you do so much for others, and yet receive so little in return? Imagine you’re on a boat, rowing diligently to keep both yourself and someone else afloat to only find out there’s a hole at the bottom. The problem was never how fast you needed to row, the problem was at the root you have yet to see. That’s a bit what it feels like to be in the grip of codependency. Codependency describes an unseen pattern where one person puts another’s needs before their own, often to the detriment of their own well-being.

The clientele who I primarily work with are struggling with anxious and/or depressive symptoms related to life transitions or general mood related disorders. Together, we formulate therapeutic goals with the aim of reducing the symptomatic complaints. Sometimes the process is as simple as reframing perspective and other times, more trauma and attachment work is involved. The path makes itself clear as the therapeutic relationship develops and the client leads the way in terms of readiness and personal needs.

Life is full of challenges. We all face hard times, stress and struggles at some point during our lives.
