My objective is to empower people to find answers within themselves. Sometimes this is most accessible by relating to another person one on one through words; sometimes it is best achieved by having transformative experiences in group settings, and sometimes through the medium of art and music. Each individual and the story of their lives calls for different modes of connection and development in the process of achieving integration and wholeness.

I work with individuals, adolescents, couples and families who desire to live a better life and have connection in their relationships. Did you know that "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" (. I didn't. Everyone experiences suffering. Learning how NOT to suffer is life changing. We'll explore the beliefs and meanings that were created during your socialization. You'll learn simple tools and gain awareness about how the process of suffering happens for you and how to NOT suffer. It requires willingness, vulnerability and a commitment to not give up. You also have the option to experience EMDR, a powerful modality when stuck.

The world feels like an especially challenging place right now. Financial pressures, work expectations, family responsibilities, and other challenges can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. Societal expectations to present a "perfect life" can compound these feelings and cause fear, shame, or embarrassment in seeking out support.
