Do you have a history of trauma or stressful life events? Are you feeling stuck, anxious, angry, or overwhelmed? Are you struggling to be the type of employee, partner, or parent you hoped to be? Many of my clients tell me they are having a hard time feeling safe, confident, content and satisfied in their life. They find themselves not fully present or able to enjoy the positive moments and connections in life. If you have been feeling this way, it could relate to trauma or life stress. If you have experienced grief, losses, or a traumatic experience, you can learn tools and begin specialty therapies to help manage these feelings.

Relationships can be difficult and I believe that the relationship we cultivate with ourselves is of utmost importance in the way we communicate with others. Are we accepting and compassionate when we notice mistakes or are we critical and judgmental? By improving our ''inside voices' we can alleviate much of the stress and tension in our lives. When working with individuals, couples, or groups, I remain unbiased and non-judgmental as I attempt to be a "clear mirror" for Self discovery. I believe that "life doesn't happen TO us. It happens FOR us." As an Imago therapist, I enjoy working with couples very much.
