Have you been feeling scared or down? Do you feel stuck in your relationship with yourself or others? Whatever you've been feeling, I can imagine facing those feelings has been challenging, confusing, and scary. Those feelings are not uncommon for those of us who experience or have experienced emotionally charged and vulnerable moments. To manage those feelings, many of us ignore them, which can lead to feeling intense and uncomfortable. Together we can learn to understand and manage your feelings, ultimately improving your relationship with yourself and others.
I offer an integrated and collaborative approach to help each of my clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. We’ll connect with your emotions, and I’ll help you learn new ways to connect with and manage emotions. Individuals and couples who complete this process often end up with a better understanding of themselves and others.
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who experience depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and men's issues. I have previous experience and interest in working with folks within the LGBTQIA+, Consensually Non-Monogamous, and Kink communities who struggle with self-compassion, self-development, and identity issues.
