Ever since the pandemic, you guys have been fighting. It's become constant. Now you feel distant and disengaged. You can’t communicate the way you used to and you feel misunderstood. Impatience and frustration have taken over. Where's the compromise? Sleeping is getting increasingly difficult. You keep remembering those punishing words: your mind keeps repeating them over and over. With so much longing and unmet needs, you and your partner are drifting further and further apart.

My approach to therapy is to, first and foremost, provide a safe environment, free from judgment, where clients can feel confident to express their thoughts and feelings. Therapy involves a collaboration between therapist and client to explore and process the impact circumstances, events and primary relationships, past or current, have on the client’s life. In understanding the challenges client’s face as they strive to make positive changes, we work together to identify and target behaviors that no longer serve them well.

The goal of my practice is to improve the quality of life of my clients and assist them reach their full potential and personal goals. Specializing in family and couple therapy. I also specialize in depression and anxiety. The ideal client will be dedicated to their own treatment and have a strong desire to feel better.

At times it may seem as if we're at odds with our mind. The thoughts and feelings we experience seem overwhelming. We can convince ourselves we're undeserving of contentment, love, happiness, success, acceptance, etc. Where does that come from and why is it so easy to believe? For those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community, there are added layers we need to work through, making it difficult for us to thrive. Therapy can play a meaningful role by providing a space to work through the layers, confront our hurtful thoughts and feelings, unburden ourselves of the past, and truly learn to thrive.

Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you are experiencing a challenging and complicated relationship, or feeling stagnant in your career, or dealing with a crisis such as a job loss or a painful loss of a loved one or longing for a 'perfect relationship".

Whatever your challenges are, they may have prevented you from having a "peace of mind". Together, we will uncover and address the barriers that have stopped you from reaching peacefulness and fulfilment.

While my first area of "expertise" is surely in substance use, abuse, and addictions, however, I also specialize in mind and body healing, and helping people to feel more empowered and in charge over their lives.

Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes and feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism.

It's hard to say when things 'shifted', but you realize that you barely recognize the person you've been living with. It's both heart wrenching and horrifying to imagine that you and your partner have grown so far apart. You're questioning your relationship - maybe ALL of your relationships. You're a stranger to your partner, and they, to you. What brought us together to begin with? And why can't we work through even the simplest things? At some point maybe you convinced yourself that 'this will pass'. Maybe it started when you got that new job, when your kids were born, when... But now, the distance between you can't be ignored.
