Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Blocked? Do you struggle with relationships, being assertive, asking for what you need, setting appropriate boundaries or navigating conflict? Do you have a history of trauma or neglect and still struggle with its effects? As a LMFT, I can help you explore these issues and more, so you can come to understand yourself more deeply and make more conscious life choices.
I find counseling a heart opening process and consider it an honor to help clients work through confusion, conflict and/or change. While my primary orientations are psychodynamic, attachment and trauma focused, I believe that healing happens in a safe, respectful relationship and attuned, empathic environment.
I help clients with anxiety, stress, and depression; codependency and boundary difficulties, ; affect regulation; stressful life transitions; and adult and childhood trauma, I use an integrated approach that includes attention to attachment patterns, implicit body memory, core beliefs, and patterns from the past that are not working for you now.
