Within each of us is an innate desire to be deeply known; to share our story; to be fully seen by another. It is in this vulnerable space where we experience acceptance; belonging; intimate connection. When our lived experiences hold unaddressed narratives of neglect, abuse, abandonment, rigid intolerance or profound loss, the natural longing for connection can become distorted or overridden. What emerges from our understandable aversion to risk and rejection is the imperative to channel all our energy towards managing or keeping hidden the unacceptable parts of ourselves and our story. If this resonates, you are not alone.
After three decades in corporate leadership, I can affirm that it's never too late to write a new chapter! In my present work with individuals and couples, I offer a unique blend of coaching expertise and evidence-based clinical skills, where clients can safely unpack their stories, explore new paths, restore hope, and reimagine their future.
Approaching the messy, imperfect parts of our humanness is no walk-in-the-park, but the truth remains: What we resist, persists. An experienced, compassionate travel companion can be a help. I'll consider it an honor and a privilege to be a presence and a light-bearer as we navigate your story and discover the goodness and wonder that lies within.

I help struggling, hurting individuals and couples heal past and present wounds, making way for them to move towards deeper relationships and their best selves.

I approach therapy from a person-centered, relational lens. It is in the context of relationship that we are harmed and it is in relationship that we find healing. Through existential foundations of meaning-making, purpose, and choice, I help my clients engage their most challenging stories, creating space to form new insights and write new narratives that empower the life they long to experience.
