Life can be difficult to deal with. Issues from our past or on-going relationship problems can cause us considerable stress.

When you have suffered trauma, you learn early on that you can not say "no". As a result, maybe you struggle with people pleasing, saying "yes" to whatever comes up to avoid conflict, and hopefully, demonstrate your value. Maybe you feel like you can't trust yourself, can't trust others, and are destined to live a life of powerlessness and shame. When was the last time you remember having good sleep? The last you felt good enough? Safe? Whole? Or maybe you are concerned about ailing relationships in your life; be they with family, friends, or your partner? Maybe you want to feel closer to others but don't know how? We can help.

"Time and again you have shown me unyielding patience and compassion, allowing me to experience what's possible in connection with others, and help me discover new parts of myself that I've integrated over time." - L. H.

Most of our life’s challenges involve relationships. The ability to develop and maintain healthy relationships is an indication of psychological health. This is true in personal relationships as well as professional relationships. But as we all know relationships are complicated and often confusing. In our current climate we rely more and more on our devices to be the means in which we communicate. As a result we encounter more conflict with decreasing levels of satisfaction and fulfillment. We also are noticing decreased levels of social comfort. In general, life is significantly more complicated. I’m here to help guide you.

I'm somewhat nontraditional in the sense that I have many different recreational activities for the child that are integrated into the treatment process.

I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to focus on what has put you into the 'here and now' and how you can better the tomorrow.
