Change is a part of life, but that doesn’t make it easy. Sometimes, we make the changes – we get a new job, sign ourselves up for college classes, move to a new city. Sometimes those changes happen to us – our parents divorce, our partner leaves, a new medical diagnosis flips our world upside down. Whatever changes you’re experiencing, or changes you want to make in your life, therapy can help you find your balance and your voice in a life that often feels out-of-control and overwhelming. It is a passion of mine to help my clients find the steering wheel of their ships and chart their courses toward happiness.

Emotions and relationships are hard. But, why? Because your brain wants you to protect yourself/selves from anxiety in ways that cause problems; feeling confident, connected, loved, and passionate.

I'm an individual and couples therapist who knows how to guide you toward new patterns of relating to yourself or your partner. It's time to move toward more honesty in your life and relationships. All races and sexual orientations and expression are welcome in my practice.

I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. People's reasons for seeking therapy are as varied as the individuals themselves. For some, therapy is part of a broader approach to life in which insight and inner work are seen as core elements to living well and expansively. For others, the step to seek therapy is taken out of pain and suffering and after much deliberation. At times our internal experiences are so painful, they prevent us from fully engaging in our lives and relationships. Therapy can help you learn to hold with care and confidence all your thoughts, feelings and memories while moving through life in a meaningful way.
