Struggling with relationship challenges or feeling misunderstood? Feeling like you're constantly playing small to make everyone else around you happy? Being misunderstood in your closest connections, is often a very lonely place to be. I can help you make sense of what seems like confusing interpersonal dynamics, so that you can begin to feel the genuine connection and sense of beloning we all crave as human beings. The self-knowledge, skills and insights you gain in session, are an investment into yourself and all your future relationships.
I specialize in helping clients navigate complex relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions (like divorce or parenting teens), and spiritual growth. I apply a variety of modalities working with my clients such as EMDR, CBT, Gestalt, & Polyvagel Theory.
I understand that you have an expert view into your own life. As your therapist my job is to learn about you! How your values, background, experiences, dreams and aspirations, shape your unique perspectives. Ready to take the next step toward deeper connections and personal growth?
