Accepting clients Apr 2024. I help couples work their way through crisis events by helping them find their feet amist the chaos. My role is to help couples have difficult conversations. With my background is in probation/parole therapy, I bring strong elements of fairness, repair, and rehabilitation to couples who have faced injuries. Some topics I have strong experience in are: infidelity, bisexuality, addiction, codependency, anger management, emotional availability, parenting approach, and lack of sexual intimacy.

I am guided by the principal that the deeper we can look into ourselves, the deeper we can see into the world - by understanding ourselves, we can understand how we are limited - once we know where we are hung up, we can make more adaptive and healthier choices - we can craft the life we prefer to live. In my work with clients, we often uncover long-held family patterns and dynamics that come from histories of addiction, abuse, toxic shame, codependency and trauma. These patterns become increasingly dissatisfying and uncomfortable to live with. I am here to help.

Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.

You need someone who listens very carefully. We all need to feel safe and supported. We need to talk to someone who can connect the dots and always give clear and honest feedback. We want to feel validated and empowered by your own strengths. Sometimes we need help fighting our demons. This may come from a history of abuse/trauma. From this abuse we may have anger and/or anxiety and depression or addiction. Our addictions could include Drugs and Alcohol, or Food. For some of us we may need help to understand how to communicate wisely in our relationships or we may need to help dealing with our loneliness, isolation and grief.

What brings us to ask for help often becomes fuel for transformation. Here, our symptoms are sign-posts letting us know that healing and growth are possible. I support my clients in seeing whatever challenge they bring to therapy as a call to transformation. I specialize in working with adults who want to heal and grow deeply. I have expertise recovery from shame, low self-esteem, codependency and developing self-compassion. The potential of therapy is about growth and fulfillment over the long arc of our lives and I maintain that whatever our current conflicts, they pertain to that.
