I work with individuals and families who feel stuck in relationships that are abusive. These relationships could be with spouses, romantic partners, parents, co-workers, bosses, children or friends. If there is chaos in these relationships, or something that just does not seem right, we can explore these relationships so that you aren't constantly feeling exhausted or anxious.
Getting clear about what shaped you to connect with others is extremely important. If you grew up in abusive relationships, you will often find yourself repeating these relationships in adult life and, unfortunately, unintentionally passing them on to children. Our work will highlight these patterns and create healthier ways of connecting with others.
If you’re feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating, there is absolutely a way out of it. We can work on make sense of what’s happening, and begin to respond differently—with clearer boundaries, stronger connection, and a more stable sense of who you are. If that way of thinking about things resonates with you, you’re welcome to reach out.

Most of my work is attachment-based. I explore your relationships and highlight important patterns by alternating between current relationship dynamics and early family life. Structural family therapy is also a main tool of mine, with a heavy focus on triangulation patterns where people get involved in rescuing, victimizing, and being the victim.
