Our work will improve your relationships, communication, self esteem, and sense of overall well being. I believe in the inherent wisdom of clients in the healing process. I respect the lifestyles each person has chosen, and believe in the importance of confidentiality. I offer a safe place to explore concerns about relationships, parenting, marriage, transition, occupation, separation, depression, stress, and anxiety. I have treated individuals, couples, and families since 1995 specializing in internal families systems, human developments, and treating trauma.
My main approaches used are Mindsight, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, . I help resolve trauma, while strengthen family bonds, your sense of self, and improving health.
I provide an emotionally safe place to bring up "tough" subjects. We will work together to help improve communication, deepen understanding, repair broken trust, and create solutions. We will explore emotional responses, understand thought patterns and how they affect physical and emotional well-being. Examining emotional cycles creates personal healing, resolution, and growth.
