I believe that everyone's capable of experiencing an emotionally healthy and fulfilling life regardless of their unique circumstance. With therapy to find insight into past pain and trauma, wounds old and new can be healed, and tools can be discovered to deal with present and future challenges. My clients are ready to be the agents of change in their lives through their personal growth instead of waiting for the world around them to change. I believe that through therapy with me, individuals have the innate wisdom and courage that can be discovered to find their best paths forward with compassion for self and others.
My therapy style focuses on healing wounds for secure attachment with Internal Family Systems for individuals and Emotionally Focused Therapy with relationships. I specialize in working with unique issues within religious and formerly religious contexts, including mixed-faith marriages, and working with medical professional and their families.
While being a stay-at-home mom for a dozen years, I came to understand the value of love, forgiveness, and a strong sense of self to be an agent of change in my own life in order to strengthen my family. I invite all who are ready to grow themselves to create lasting change in their relationships to call for an appointment or phone consult today.
