My deeply reflective style holds trust that the answers you need are answers you have, and that within the safety & guidance of a therapeutic relationship, you will move toward clarity that supports authentic, purposeful, & present living.
By moving toward patience, kindness, and grace for one’s self, we can challenge the places in our lives that have promoted trauma, dis-ease, and a host of mental, physical, & spiritual compromise. By sitting inside of life’s questions, with a practice of curiosity and self-compassion, we can gain clarity for how to move toward balance & harmony. My practice seeks to support adults with childhood trauma, parents & the child-parent relationship, as well as pregnant and new mothers & new parents. With empathy, humor, & compassionate challenging, I work to support you toward your definition of progress.

Through developing a strong sense of self and the use of healthy coping skills, you’ll be able to confidently navigate a relationship with yourself and others.
Sometimes life can be like standing in a garden filled with weeds that are 20 feet tall leading you to feel stuck, suffocated, and lonely. It can be hard to know where to start and how to make your way through the weeds. Depression and anxiety can often make us feel the same way. What are the current weeds in your life? Grief? Anxiety? Dating? Relationship conflicts?

I provide a safe and sacred space to help clients wade through feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship and existential issues.
Life can be challenging and complex. At times we are faced with situations that feel overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable. Trauma can result in a loss of a sense of self and hopelessness. Engaging in therapy is a personal decision; one that requires commitment and hard work to attain life changes. I believe therapy tailored to meet individual needs can facilitate increased self-awareness leading to emotional, as well as, relational attunement and enhancement. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering sensitivity to experiences of marginalization, ableism, discrimination, racism, or other 'isms encountered.

If you choose to work with me, each of you will be pushed and challenged to be better partners, ultimately guardians of the relationship.
Do you feel stuck and unable to move forward in your relationship? Do you need help resolving conflicts? Are you and your partner caught up in a negative feedback cycle that doesn't end in resolution just more anger and frustration? People want to communicate and connect deeply to their partners but often lack the skills and sometimes even the language to do so. With a little guidance, I believe that you and your partner have the capacity to achieve a full and satisfying partnership. Inevitably, all relationships face conflict when differences arise. Relief and resolution are possible. I see it everyday in my practice.

Some of the issues my therapy addresses are sexual abuse, relationship distress, depression, childhood trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Emotional and physical trauma, when unresolved, can leave us feeling alone, misunderstood, disconnected and sometimes shamed. It can keep us from forming the relationships we seek and alienate us from the intimacy we might desire. In a non-judgmental way, I engage my clients to help them find meaning and growth through a combination of deep understanding and emotional presence. My approach is attachment-based and focuses on attunement and self-acceptance. When working with couples as well as individuals, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Personal change and growth come from an encouraging, supportive, safe, compassionate, and empathetic environment where an individual can discover oneself and grow. Are you finding those coping mechanisms which once worked for you no longer are? Do you struggle to find a connection to yourself or others? Are you finding yourself still struggling with things that happened long ago and you don't understand why? Having the courage to work on one’s relationship to self and others can be powerful, deeply healing, and perhaps one of the most loving actions one can do.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
