Each person has the ability to learn, grow and make necessary changes in their personal life, relationships, and situations. We aim at exploring and understanding ways of thinking and patterns of behavior one may be completely unaware of, resulting in repetitive patterns of behavior that ultimately lead to dissatisfaction and emotional turmoil in a person's life. We are driven by a belief that each individual has potential to grow from their life experiences, whether it be good or bad. As a group of highly qualified and trained therapists, we are passionate about solving critical challenges and inspiring personal growth.

My work with individuals has focused on people who have a strong desire to live meaningful lives and have a sincere wish to be good partners, parents, and community members. At the same time, they feel distant from their deeper selves and find that their relationships and life are not what they had hoped they would be at this time. They find that they are inwardly blocked from living life more fully. My work with couples, families, children, and adolescents has focused on helping navigate challenging circumstances, stressors, familial and life events.

Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.
