Therapy for individuals, couples and partners. Our practice was founded on the principles of holistic psychotherapy and a key concept that pleasure is healing. With compassion and warmth, we help clients address current life challenges and long-standing issues. The decision to begin individual, couple or partner therapy can be a difficult one. By making this decision, you have made a commitment to your emotional wellbeing and to improvements in your relationship with yourself and others. We offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to help you determine if our services are right for you.
I utilize a collaborative solution-focused approach. I believe you are the expert in your life and are interested in personal growth. I am trained in Basic Accelerated Resolution Therapy used to heal past trauma and emotional wounds that present current challenges to your wellbeing. I am also trained to explore spirituality and meaning-making with clients.
Life’s struggles are real and impact us where we least expect it. Small adjustments in your life along with self-compassion can create monumental change. Therefore, I will encourage you to establish goals that develop authenticity towards yourself and strengthen emotional bonds with others. I would feel privileged to join you on this part of your journey.
