If you are ready to collaborate on a new vision for your relationship, please reach out.
I work with parents, often new parents, who deeply desire to enjoy their new lives, but find conflict is holding them back. They often struggle to divide all the new responsibilities in a way that seems "fair." Exhausted and overwhelmed, they see resentment and blame creeping into their relationships. Many of my clients find themselves caught in cycles of conflict, repeating the same arguments again and again. Despite these challenges, they often hold onto a hope that things can be different. I see my work as helping clients re-create relationships that are strong enough to support them even in the most difficult of times.

I have a great deal of experience working with couples on a variety of topics: codependency, infidelity, communication and blended family issues amongst other concerns.
I take a personal, relatable approach to working with all of my clients. I sincerely care about helping my clients gain clarity and insight while progressing towards developing the skills necessary to independently problem solve in the future. I do feel that we sometimes need to look backwards and work through past issues in order to lay a better foundation for the present. I will always seek to speak the truth with grace, even though it may be difficult to hear, in order to ensure that my clients have the information they need to make the best decisions for their situation.

Our therapeutic relationship is bidirectional; we learn from each other and grow from our work together.
Together, we will build an authentic, trusting connection where it is safe to unmask the parts of ourselves we normally hide. I support people who are experiencing relationship challenges, difficulty advocating for themselves, anxiety, loneliness, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and blockages in creating the life they truly desire. I believe the relationship we have with ourselves creates the foundation for every other aspect of our lives. Our work focuses on nurturing that relationship to live the life you truly desire. Collaboratively, we will explore who we are and decide who we want to be.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel more grounded and successful in their relationships and lives. I believe relationship issues as well as common symptoms like depression and anxiety often stem from habitual patterns of relating that may have historical importance, but may no longer be useful to us. As new issues arise in our lives these habitual patterns and our own vulnerabilities may impact our ability to feel competent and fulfilled.

Imago therapy is an amazing relationship technology that very quickly gets us back to safe communication and experiencing our partner as a source of emotional safety, and passionate friendship. In my 35 years of working with couples as a specialty, Imago is the best system I have known to get us back to that feeling that we had in the beginning of our relationship. Its structured communication techniques distinguish it from all other types of couples therapy. the process itself feels very nonthreatening to both partners.

By expressing feelings openly and connecting authentically we learn to resolve family and relationship issues naturally.
I believe that we all have an innate healing power within us, and that developing a safe and caring relationship with a therapist can be a wonderful means toward enlivening this power. By going within, we can discover the agency to overcome any obstacle and can bring into being a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and a life of fulfillment. I come from a holistic, humanistic, and mindfulness/spiritually-oriented tradition who believe that a therapist is only as skilled as they are evolved, or self-actualized themselves. I specialize in trauma, dissociation, & complex post traumatic stress disorder.
