Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them construct a meaningful life. This means supporting clients to make meaning of even the more painful aspects of their experience. Perhaps you are dealing with a difficult life transition, struggling with memories from a painful childhood, grieving the death of a loved one, engaging in self-destructive behaviors, or are attempting to navigate the complex world of relationships. I will work with you to address issues from the perspective that although life is often painful, people have the ability to make healthy choices and to live lives of integrity, depth, and beauty.

I believe that healing comes through the caring and dynamic engagement created between human beings. Thus, my approach is interactive and our time together will be a collaboration that encourages mutual presence and relatedness. Research confirms the importance of this. While no specific technique is consistently effective in eliciting change; certain therapists, who bring a particular presence and sensitivity to their work, often are. I believe I am such a therapist and this is largely because of the intention I bring to our work together along with my advanced training in depth psychology and relationally oriented psychotherapy.

Talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes it's just not enough. Maladaptive patterns of stress, trauma, anxiety, and depression lie in our bodies. You and I will untangle these problematic patterns to get to the root of your pain together. Our sessions will allow you to metaphorically dip your toe into the pain and then always come back to safety. In this way you are challenged to grow in a slow, safe manner.

My intention, as I walk on the healing path with my clients, is to empower self love. We are worthy, throughout our entire life cycle, of receiving all that life has to offer. Symptoms are connected to layers of shame and distrust built up over time through trauma and false programming. Once we understand the patterns that keep us trapped in our symptoms and heal the trauma that activated those patterns, we can make the choice to actively love ourselves and create the life of our dreams.

We have a lot in common. As human beings, we are innately creative, generous, and resilient. But life offers itself to us on its own terms, and change is inherent to our experience. We know this, but we can still find ourselves caught in the noise, struggling to make sense of our experience, and cut off from the embodied wisdom within us. When we find ourselves at inflection points – suspended between what was and what is yet to be – we all sometimes fray into uncertainty and overwhelm.

I believe that it is never too late—or too early—for us to become more whole, and more truly ourselves. Whether we are making major life decisions, wrestling with longstanding difficulties, or longing for shifts we can’t yet name, we need access to a sense of who we truly are. When that access is blocked, the result can be anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, relational trouble, isolation, self-harm, destructive patterns, or simply feeling lost. Coming into meaningful relationship with another person in therapy is a powerful way to restore your connection with yourself—or to build it for the first time.
