The start of therapy is often a painful or stressful time. I will work with you to improve your current life and increase your future resilience. I believe the foundation of this work is often the experience of being truly heard. There are stories behind the things we do and the feelings we have. We usually know parts of these stories, but therapy helps us to know more. As we come to know more, we gain more control, and it becomes easier to meet life’s challenges. Additionally, we become better at seeing people and situations for what they really are, which helps us to avoid ruts at work and in our relationships.

Life can be difficult and messy, but also beautiful. I believe wholeheartedly in helping others find the beauty and balance the uncertainty in their lives through a collaborative process.

There are a few golden threads tying us together, serving as reminders of our most universal experience; a desire to be truly seen and heard by others, and to understand ourselves. To pursue these ideals, often, means you may be feeling lost, as if you're constantly performing for others or on display, lonesome, a lack of authenticity, as if there's a disconnect between you and "them", an inability to form or maintain meaningful, stable relationships, frustration, shame, self-hatred, self-sabotaging patterns of behavior. The connection between these is the healing in-between. One requires the other and you don't have to go it alone.

SEX THERAPY. How do we rebuild trust after this? Why are we struggling to connect with each other sexually? You may hear yourself asking these questions and not know where to begin or how to overcome the emotional distance you feel between yourself and your partner. I am passionate about working with couples and individuals desiring to move towards connection. For some couples or individuals it may be hard to connect because of previous wounds you carry from other relationships. For others it may be that it is hard to talk openly and honestly to each other or maybe pornography, infidelity, substance use has eroded trust.
