Things at home are more stressful than ever—trying to find balance in the midst of endless demands is overwhelming. You are doing your best, but the whole house feels on edge, especially you and your partner. Certain pre-existing relational dynamics are now magnified and there’s a storm brewing inside of you. You're feeling angry, resentful and unsupported. You know you play a part in this dance, you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to right this ship, but can’t do it alone anymore. There's a part of you that knows you could be better and another part that is so lost. You need some clarity and guidance.

IFS Level 1 Trained - EFT Certified - ACT Therapist - Coaching - Are you feeling lost? Nervous about your future? Or society's future? Does your anxiety cause you to limit your participation in life? I can relate. I've been there. I see healing and transformation as a science, a process with a definite result if you put in the work. Think of it like the gym, if you go every day you get results. The same is true for overcoming mental blocks, spiritual awakening, inner healing, finding your true calling, forming or breaking a habit and designing your best life. But it is not mysterious; it is a process with predictable outcomes.

I work with adults both individually and as couples, encompassing a range of mental health issues.

We get hurt in relationship and we heal in relationship. Let me help you get on the path of healing. It need not take years of therapy to become conscious of what's going on and what you long for.

The people I work with seek therapy for all the emotional turmoil life throws at you: pressures to perform, anxiety, marriage and premarital distress, trouble sleeping and changes in mood. Others I see come to therapy with a broader wish to understand their own nature, to see themselves and timeworn habits more clearly. In each case, my goal is not to simply fix problems in your life or marriage, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning. For couples, my goal is to move your relationship from distress to security, understanding and mutual trust.
