Are you finding it hard to be compassionate with your partner? With yourself? Do you find yourself building a narrative against your partner in your mind that feeds your frustration? Are you tired of the same arguments? I can help. I help couples & intimate partners build connection, heal from past wounds, build new levels of trust, communication and intimacy. Hurts can happen fast in the back and forth dance of all couples. In couples therapy we will slow things down and create a safe space to learn about yourself, your partner and how to change your negative interaction patterns.
My work with individuals and couples is based on the belief that we all have an innate capacity for wellness and healing. And this healing and growth happen in relationship with others. I work collaboratively with you to help you find and build upon your inner strengths in order to find joy, meaning and inner peace in your daily life and your relationships.
I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space so you can bring and explore your authentic whole self. I believe in social justice and I practice cultural humility in my work and life. I will work collaboratively with you, posing options and directions based on your preferences and goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, parts work, EMDR, somatic therapies & other mindfulness based practices in my work. This means we will focus on your present experiences, look for solutions in the present, but we will also look together at how the past might be impacting the present. I incorporate experiential treatment modalities such as guided visualization and sensation focused mindfulness.
