A trusting therapeutic relationship is the beginning of positive change. With time and effort, you can begin to look at concerns and feelings like shame, loneliness, anger, fear, and sadness that may have brought you to therapy in the first place.

Developing a trusting therapeutic relationship leads to opportunities to grow while strengthening your relationships and your sense of self. I look forward to beginning this exciting and fulfilling work with you!

We spend our lives in relationships--with family, friends and most significantly our spouses or partners. Those relationships can be fufilling and provide great happiness. But sometimes relationships can become frustrating, stressful or emotionally exhausting. Working with an experienced therapist can help you determine the real problematic issues and what could help to improve the relationship . You may want to evaluate if your relationship is truly healthy or not. I see adults, and adolescents.

Sometimes, we get stuck in problem-saturated stories. I see challenges from the perspective of a narrative. We tend to see our world in story form with themes and plots. Sometimes these become troublesome and not the story that we want to tell about ourselves, our marriages, and our families. Sometimes, these stories can lead us to believe that we are not good enough people, parents, or spouses which can cause depression, anxiety, marital and parenting issues. I believe that people have power over these stories and I help to uncover newfound strengths and resources through conversation and experiential interventions.
