Most people go into relationships with big hopes, a vision of a good future, and the desire to have a fulfilling life. However, somewhere in the process difficulties start to arise, and this hope soon becomes frustration and disappointment. You start to feel discouraged, and might begin to have thoughts of ending the relationship because it is too painful. Whether you are in a new relationship, or you have been together for decades, you are not alone. Every couple experiences a range of difficulties, you might be struggling with communication, constant arguing, or even infidelity. Regardless, I can help you! Free 15m phone consult.
I am passionate about my work with couples and individuals, and genuinely enjoy being part of your journey. The therapeutic relationship is the focus of my practice as I thrive to provide you with a safe, kind, and nonjudgmental space. I am also neurodivergent informed and affirming, and I help you navigate a world that was not created for or by you!
Research shows that past unresolved difficult or traumatic experiences have a great impact on your current life and relationships. As a trauma specialist, I use evidence models such as: EFT, IFS, EMDR, & Ketamine Assist. My 24+ years of experience provide me with the insight and compassion to help you achieve the life and relationships you want and deserve!
