I am passionate about helping others to reconnect to their essential nature, and to live more fully from a place of inner truth. I view my job as helping you to navigate back to your own Truest self and inner guidance system. I draw from the foundations of Hakomi, somatic awareness, attachment work, and mindfulness based approaches to support you on your journey. I hold a compassionate container where all of the emotions are honored and welcomed, and where we can lean into what is causing distress to mine for inner wisdom. We will use creativity to find new ways of navigating with self and all those we come into contact with.

Everyone has times in their life when they are confused, struggling, etc. Age doesn't define when these struggles happen.

It is a common myth that if you are with the right partner, you will never have conflict, or not experience problems in a relationship. The reality is that relationships will have rocky times and even times of doubt. Couples, when they enter into a relationship, don't fuse into one person, each becoming the "better half" of the other. They remain individuals who merge lives. This comes with its own problems and pains because it's not always an easy thing to do. As a couple's therapist, my goal is to help couples navigate and resolve issues.

There is not a singular source to our suffering. Turmoil can originate in, and travel through, our bodies, minds, communities, families, and sociopolitical systems. Often, we respond to inner turmoil in two extreme ways. We may excessively worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous or distressing, or say 'it is hopeless,' and check out. Therapy can help us gain access to our grief and pain while developing the wisdom that comes with renewed commitment to our lives.
