I support couples who want to work hard to have the relationship they desire, but struggle to stop the conflict and find connection. If you struggle to communicate with your partner, don’t really feel heard or seen, wonder why your partner can incite such big and intense emotions in you, or feel more connected to other people in your life than to your partner, I would love to support. If you think “If only my partner would…then we could be happy” or “We used to be able to work things out, but now we get angry over the smallest, most insignificant things. It’s exhausting.” or “How did we get HERE?”, then you are in the right place.

My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.
