Are you ready to experience trust, intimacy, and love again? When these areas are compromised in any relationship, the health and vitality of that partnership suffers. When that relational damage is a result of infidelity, porn, affairs, on-line chats, or hook-ups, often, neither the partner nor the addict know where to turn for help. As a Certified Sexual Recovery Therapist, I am committed to providing a lifeline for both individuals and couples so that authentic communication and integrity can be restored.

In my practice, I attempt to address suffering: what makes us suffer, how we suffer, and how suffering can be alleviated. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues and are not afraid to take on the suffering consciously, with my support, in order to transform their lives. I specialize in the treatment of addictions of all kinds, but primarily chemical, co-dependency, sex and romance, and gambling. I also specialize in the treatment of trauma/PTSD, both from current life situations and from childhood experiences.

My style of engagement is non-hierarchical and non-pathologizing, and is rooted in and guided by a spirit of loving curiosity, compassion, and camaraderie. I am candid and enjoy *keeping it real* in ways that invite the authenticity and honesty that fuel growth and change. At the same time, I work with sensitive awareness and caring of the many aspects of each individual, of each aspect’s unique needs and desires, and of the need of each to be seen, understood and supported. This approach is the foundation for the collaborative work I do with my clients.

Making that first call to a therapist can be frightening. Feelings of pride embarrassment, shame and or financial issues can get in the way of living a more fulfilled life. My focus is to provide a welcoming and safe environment and to lend support to couples, individuals and families who are facing life's many challenges. My specialty is in working with couples and relationships. I strongly believe that providing an opportunity for one to experience intense emotions along with the ability to communicate these feelings in a non destructive and respectful mannor is the first step in healing and strengthening a relationship.

We all encounter moments where we don't know how to change, specially how to change our thoughts and feelings. We get trapped in a cycle trying to get better, one where our critical voice(s) ends up making us feel a like a failure. Or sometimes we just can't do it anymore, a part of us wants to give up. When you learn to turn around and dialogue with those parts of you instead of fighting with them, you will realize that these parts were just trying to help you or protect you the only way they knew. Then, it becomes easier to be kind to them, to ourselves, and the transformation begins: you will be able let go of unproductive worry

I’m passionate about working with adults to support wellness and healing. My goal is to be effective and authentic as I offer space to reflect on your past and present, as well as explore the different parts of yourself in order to grow toward the future that you want. I believe that every person has the capacity for healing and growth and its my job to be your %100 partner in your process. I often offer an internal focus in the therapeutic process as I have seen it can provide a very impactful experience for clients.

In life we all have opportunities for growth and change, and no one person or challenge is the same. Therapy can be a place to gain awareness, insight, and most importantly find the confidence and personal power to make changes. I work to help clients identify and acknowledge what is not working for them as well as find their own path toward solutions.

I work with clients who want to resolve childhood trauma, quit smoking or other undesirable habits. Also clients who have anxiety, depression, phobias or were subjected to sexual molestation and PTSD, can be helped through hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy can help to heal and change the negative programs from childhood and adult trauma too. Freud, Adler, and Jung used hypnosis. All the great founders in the field of psychology used hypnosis because it had proven its effectiveness. Hypnotherapy is unique because by going to the core problem it can quickly help you heal emotional wounds and have a new, more positive life.
