What would it look like for you to live your life authentically, meaningfully and free? Together, we can find out. We may explore how your family system and trauma adaptations are getting in the way of your ability to manage moods and set boundaries with others. Or maybe you’ve had experiences where you question your self-worth, asking yourself, “Am I good enough? Am I enough?” We may explore where these beliefs and expectations come from, and how to establish self-compassion. Or maybe you’re finding it challenging to regulate your emotions, so we may discover ways to self-regulate and become more grounded in the present.

Change is never easy. There is an abundance of places to start and sometimes, it is places we have never been to or ever thought of exploring. The areas we need to explore are our history, family & friends, & environment. However, it is a firm belief that each & every person-no matter what they have done, felt, experienced, or believe about themselves, is capable of change & can commit to ways in which this change is lasting. Through a psychodynamic approach, I strive to work with clients to identify where their needs lie & where they may have started, along with taking a look at the path they are on or have taken before.

If you are wondering why you may be attracting the same type of partner or repeating the same types of losses in your relationships or friendships, then I am here to help you through it.

While I am intuitive, I like to keep it real with you. What that means is that I will work with you in a direction that is suited to your needs.

What can therapy do for me, you ask? Everyone has experienced times where they feel there is nowhere to turn because what you are going through, no one can relate. We’re all human and we all have times where we feel as though matters have gone so deep that you’re unable to recover from them. Is wanting change reasonable thinking? Is change possible? They answer to both is “YES” so let me help you work on redirecting your focus and energy from what you feel you can’t change to what you can and want to change. Every being has a purpose. We all have a story to tell and I want you to tell me yours, turning one page at a time.
