Southwest Passages is dedicated to supporting individuals, couples and families find enhanced meaning and aliveness through successful navigation of life's challenges and transitions.

You need someone holistic who works from the heart and sees you as a person rather than a number. You are feeling STUCK and need a solution fast because it's beyond frustrating. You can't breathe and want to feel rested and peaceful. Whether it be fears, phobias, complex ptsd , narcissistic abuse recovery, anxieties, insomnia or other undesirable symptoms which are driving you nuts, I'm here to help you slow down and get back in charge of your life. It doesn't have to be this way. You deserve more, yes?

The most important aspect of my work - and its deepest expression - lies in listening. My job is to "hear" you - to listen for what is being said and what is not, for who and what are in the room, for who and what are absent. What part or parts of you have a voice? What part or parts have been silenced? This deep listening process will lead us to those specific therapeutic modalities most appropriate for your growth and well being - what will best serve you at this stage in your life's journey. I also remain aware of any previous or early wounding that may be preventing you from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life.

Many times in our lives we are driven by pain from past events. Much of my experience has been working alongside those who are faced with issues of anger, general and acute stress, PTSD , anxiety, and depression; both youth and adults. I have a deep understanding of the nuances of trauma , generational trauma and the disconnect it can cause. I believe therapy to be a journey where I assist you in reconnecting you with yourself and the world around you. I work with you collaboratively to help you make the changes you want to make in your life.

Many of us have lived through hard and painful life experiences. For some of us, the physical and emotional memory of those experiences keep us locked in a state of shame, anxiety, fear and loneliness (this experience is often labeled with a variety of diagnoses: PTSD , Complex PTSD , Anxiety, Depression, ADHD). It can seem impossible to create and sustain meaningful, fulfilling and nurturing relationships (including the one with yourself!) from an isolated and fearful place. If you are seeking to feel better and create healthy and sustainable changes in your life, this may be the work for you.
