Hi, and welcome to my page! I believe everyone deserves to be happy and comfortable in mind, body, and relationships. I bring this core belief to my work with both couples and individuals every day. I love helping people get in true conversation with themselves and those they love. This first involves noticing our own nervous systems, so that we become familiar with which emotions, thoughts, and sensations track together. Once we have achieved this, we can start using Mindfulness and self-compassion techniques to learn to watch our own minds and accept ourselves and others. The goal is a life with far less pain and suffering.
We'll work to free you from patterns of thought and behavior that (sometimes forged by trauma) are at the root of anxiety and depression. We'll pinpoint your values and goals that make taking on challenges worthwhile. I use Gottman and EFT to help my couples clients make successful bids for connection and learn to communicate deeply and kindly.
Please know, you don't have to go it alone. Two heads are, very simply, much better than one! Helping you to heal and achieve your most enjoyable life and relationships is my passion. Feel free to reach out via phone or email, and let me know how I can help you live the life you want.

Do you ever feel like you KNOW the right way to think about yourself and your life, but what you FEEL tells you something completely different? I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to help clients reprocess the life experiences that have formed these stuck "felt-beliefs." This allows the client access to a truer, more manageable perspective on life and self.

I often use EMDR in my individual sessions. With EMDR, we'll uncover life experiences that have adversely impacted your thoughts and feelings. We will then target those events for reprocessing toward more adaptive thinking. In my couples work, I'll help you and your partner find and disrupt patterns that cause disconnection. We'll also strengthen communication skills and appreciation of strengths.
