Relationships are key to our wellbeing. Frequent conflict & toxic interactions cause harm. While being heard & understood makes us feel safe. Healing prior traumas or toxic relationships (e.g. narcissistic abuse/cPTSD) & prioritizing self-care & your own dreams can be a challenge. I'll help you express your feelings & needs, set boundaries gracefully & be your genuine self. My affirming, solution-focused incorporates concept from DBT, tools from EMDR. and is inspired by The Work of Byron Katie.
I enjoy helping individuals & couples from all orientations and walks of life heal the past and break old patterns to create connections that meet their own needs & their partners' too. I will guide you in identifying & communicating your feelings, priorities, values & boundaries to enhance connection, reduce conflict, & lead to solutions that work for all.
Asking for help is rarely easy. I welcome the chance to get to know about you, explain my approach & determine how I can best assist you. If you seek to improve your relationships, enhance communication skills and boundaries, engage in self-reflection & improve your well-being, please reach out. Contact me for a free 15 minute phone consultation. Let's talk!

I work with individuals and couples seeking to improve their well-being and relationships; make new connections & better old ones; and to advance their communication, conflict resolution & problem solving skills. When we take responsibility for ourselves, & leave the responsibility of others with them, we shift away from helplessness guilt & blame, creating harmony in our lives & relationships.
