I help people who feel stuck — in their careers, in their relationships, or just in life — find more clarity, connection, and joy. Many people I work with are successful on the outside but feel exhausted on the inside. They might be struggling with workaholism, feeling 'blah' about their relationships, dealing with the impact of trauma, or learning how to finally set boundaries that stick. They come to me feeling frustrated with talking about the same things over and over again but not feeling any better.
In our work together, we go beyond just talking. I use a trauma-informed, body-aware approach to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and give you tools to shift it. My goal is to help you feel more ease, more freedom, and more aliveness in your day-to-day life. I have clinicians with various schedule options if ours doesn't fit.
It is a privilege to witness growth in those that might have doubted whether something “better” was really possible. Life gets better with help getting through the tough times. Check out my website for more information about my style and specialities. LGBTQI friendly.

Groups
Vision Group
If you have been diagnosed with a degenerative vision issue, this group is for you. This was originally formed by members of the vision community that were grieving about the diagnosis they received that had to do with declining vision earlier than expected. It is an open process group and we tend to talk about subjects like: fear of losing all vision; the changes in marriages and family dynamics after a diagnosis like this; losing independence like driving or being able to walk comfortably in a low lighting situation.
