I believe that every person has a story. To tell that story and be deeply heard by a compassionate, supportive person, with no judgment, is the main work of therapy. Within my work with individuals, we build a relationship of trust, consistency, and commitment, while exploring roots and doing problem-solving together. I use a similar approach with couples and families, hearing each story of the individual, couple or family unit. I look at how these individuals have come together to form important ties with one another, and together we explore ways to create positive change within their relationships.

I believe in the power of connection. Psychologist and researcher Brene Brown says, “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick”. Through the course of counseling, we will work together to identify, repair, and restore the areas of ‘disconnect’ in your life, so that you may once again reap the mental and physical benefits of this fundamental human need.

Each of us needs to find a way to interact with our world in the best way we can. Sometimes, things happen that make this difficult. Everyone deserves to have someone listen to them and hear them.
