This world is tough, and everyone has a story; usually one of resilience, compassion, and courage – even if you struggle to see it in yourself.

As your therapist (aka professional secret keeper) I will work with you to help find meaning, peace, and a better understanding of your own personal journey.

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. Many of our pitfalls, our "relapses" in behavior, are related to maladaptive patterns with family or intimate partners.
