My approach to therapy is to establish a connection and relationship with the client.
I have a strong background in psychoanalysis and spiritual evolution. I am an ordained Zen Buddhist with a background in different spiritual approaches and life changes. I am what psychologists would call a multi cultural person. I put a strong emphasis on inner growth and moving beyond stagnation. An interpersonal connection to my clients is important. My overall experience in life gives me tools to work with a client that one does not find in the usual psychological approach. If you are looking to grow and develop more awareness definitely check me out.

Sessions are typically 2 hours and are available at 3 convenient locations or virtually.

Life is way too short to feel like your best isn't good enough. Too short to fear you will not be accepted as you are and feel as though you have to live in your own shadow. You do not have to avoid certain people, places, or feelings to feel in control of your body. Could you be holding yourself back from being your best self? Kind of like self-sabotage? Do you have difficulty trusting others or building bonds out of fear they are just going to leave you? This could lead to experiencing difficulty maintaining any type of relationship.

You’ve reached your limit. You know that something has got to change, and you're beyond ready for some relief, but deciding where to start feels like a moving target. You’ve read about attachment styles and emotional dysregulation and most of it makes sense in theory, but things aren’t actually changing. You find that you still react to stress and conflict in ways that you don’t fully understand, which often results in being misunderstood and second guessing yourself. Half the time you don't even know what your actual feelings and needs are so... um, how are you supposed to effectively communicate these things to another human?

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
