You are going to hear me say this a lot: what do you want? Such a simple question that sometimes is not such a simple answer. Why is it that kids always know what they want but as adults we forget? To me, it is that life has gotten complicated and now we are unsure of the consequences of rocking the boat. I believe that those perceived consequences are just one piece of the puzzle and that there is unseen treasure hiding behind the wall of fear and anxiety for those daring enough to look.
In relationships, as in life, we make assumptions because they are useful, until these assumptions get us into trouble. The less we address our feelings, the bigger they get, and the harder it is to communicate clearly. My goal is to help you strengthen the foundation of your relationship so that you can more authentically express yourself with your partner.
To me, healing starts with acceptance, and acceptance starts with bravery and a willingness to do the hard thing and test to see if your assumed outcome is the one that will transpire. One corrective experience can have profound effects and is enough to make the impossible seem possible. Let’s explore your authentic self and create new possibilities.

I tend to blend PACT counseling and IFIO parts work to help couples identify where the source of their reactions are coming from and process the emotions together so that you and your partner can deepen into your love for each other. With individuals I use an experiential Gestalt approach to break patterns and an IFS framework to identify and unblend from the parts we are working with.
