The majority of my practice focuses on people struggling in relationship to themselves and others. I work best with individuals and couples who want to work on issues related to feelings of loneliness, stressful relationships, boundaries, codependency, control, difficulty controlling reactions, difficulty meeting needs or asking for help, self-esteem, communication, stress and anxiety, depression, attachment styles, complex/developmental trauma and self-care.
We explore biological/psychological/social/familial/spiritual factors at play; learn about parts of them that help or seem to get in the way; practice awareness & tolerating discomfort and uncertainty; regulate responses to emotions; and practice showing up for themselves, others, or each other in a way that aligns with their values, goals, and priorities.
My style has been described as gentle yet firm; playful yet straight-forward; compassionate yet encouraging. This journey is rarely easy, fast, or linear. We move in the direction and pace that feels right for you.
