With care, knowledge, and passion, I help my clients achieve the meaningful changes they seek. From the first session, my clients say they feel lighter, happier, and empowered for change. I balance warmth and empathy with extensive education, experience, expertise. Focusing on solutions, strengths, and evidence-based tools, we take concrete steps to enrich lives and relationships, blending therapeutic modalities for conscious-unconscious mind, mindfulness, meaning.
Couples: Communication, conflict, connection, emotional intimacy: change happens rapidly and profoundly in my practice. My expertise includes cutting-edge research about what really works, healing from emotional injuries, creating happier, healthier relationships. With empathy, strength, and skill, I balance the work of deep emotional transformation with lighthearted fun and practicality.
Individuals: Make real, positive changes to live joyfully and meaningfully. Address identity, purpose, relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, and other challenges. Profound transformations are not only possible, but inevitable! Families: I love working with parents, teens, children---my toolbox is full of wonderful ways to make things better fast.
