Feeling overwhelmed? Seeing personal patterns that just don't work? Stuck with a problem that won't go away? If you notice that you aren't being, doing, or having what you want in the world it can often help to explore why, once and for all. With seasoned expertise and tools that work, I help individuals and couples understand how thoughts and feelings impact behaviors and relationships, and how learning new approaches to old problems creates the change you want.
My speciality is helping you use tools to create relationships that work. Relationships with yourself, your partner, your family, and the world. I know when to question, when to guide you, and when to listen. I am committed to being warm and welcoming in a no-shame zone of support.
I am sensitive to diversity, LGBTQ+ informed, collaborative, and available. Together we can explore ways to be in the present moment while coming into a fuller understanding of what it means to be a human being - not a human doing. Having a life that works is a wonderful thing.
