We all have experienced times when we've felt frustrated, stuck, or dissatisfied with our lives and what we want or how to move forward. While some clients are looking for immediate solutions, others want to explore the “why” behind it all. I believe we can focus on both. We'll move at your pace to understand what isn't working and why. My goal is to help you learn ways to tackle life's challenges, slow down, and feel more connected with your emotions. I'm also very passionate about helping
couples
seeking to improve their communication and reduce conflict leading to increased intimacy and connection.

My foundation in, attachment, trauma, and family dynamics allows me to
partner
with you, adapt my clinical expertise to meet your individual needs, and hold a safe place for you to discover your truest potential.
Do you feel disconnected from living a vibrant and engaged life? Do the simplest tasks stand before you like an ocean? Are relationships a source of emotional pain in your life? Our ability to make sense of our emotional experiences can be the key to releasing emotional pain and suffering. Often times, our own cultural perceptions of mental health can prevent us from seeking the help that we need. My personal and professional experiences have influenced my understanding of the value of promoting mental health and how simple changes can have a profound effect on our lives.
