My client experience has been multi-cultural, mainly teens and adults, who have emotional trauma and relationship distress.
Inexplicable anger, unshakable depression, unrelenting anxiety... This is the fallout of unmet needs like care, attention, respect, and presence happening now and probably had happened for significant lengths of time in our childhoods. As I work with people on these chronic and traumatic experiences, they have shown me how these past traumas can be resolved; that you too can get rid of distorted negative beliefs about yourself; that everyone can improve the quality and selection of their relationships; and when we connect to our bodies and minds with wisdom and tenderness, we become sovereign and healed.

I welcome couples, families and all individuals interested in living with authenticity and integrity.
I see us each born with a sense of ease, a sense of knowing that we are loved and worthy. Life sometimes challenges us with more than we can manage. We endure events and experiences that feel like cuts and bruises and we have to find ways to navigate threats to our well-being. Sometimes these cuts feel so deep that we’re not able to easily heal and we cringe in pain each time someone, knowingly or not, touches one of our open wounds. The pain can be unbearable and until we mend and heal the source of the suffering, the symptoms may persist in the form of physical, emotional or spiritual pain.

I am a big picture thinker, and someone who likes to work outside of the box by using experiments, role-play, and games to help you learn new relationship skills in a hands-on and engaging way.
You are a quirky, creative spirit seeking out your place in this world. You love the path you’re on. But sometimes you feel alone, alienated, or overwhelmed by the world around you. Sometimes a feeling of emptiness, meaninglessness, fear, or uncertainty, keeps you up at night. You ask yourself, “why am I here? And what should my life be about?” You wonder about how to put your unique gifts to their best use. And how you might come to feel less alone as you learn to do so. Sometimes you still worry that you might just be too weird to find the kind of community, loving relationships, inner peace or success you are seeking.
