My passion is to come alongside clients on the journey into their true potential. This may involve correcting negative beliefs formed in the past such as "unlovable, unworthy, never enough" and learning to cope with feelings of discomfort, loneliness, and overwhelmed. Helping adult children of addicted and dysfunctional families find their way into deeper meaningful connections while letting go of codependent behaviors and building boundaries remains close to my heart. I believe clients of all stages, gender, background, nationality, and sexual identity deserve hope and healing and feel honored to journey with you.

I believe that therapy should be a supportive, collaborative and challenging experience of self-discovery and self-acceptance where all emotions, ideas and issues can be explored and new patterns can unfold. Primarily working with adults, I specialize in working with individuals who may have had difficult childhoods and are wondering how those past experiences may be contributing to their current struggles, conflicts, stagnation or chaos.

"I don't want to do these unhealthy things, but I just feel like I can't stop." Sound like something you have thought or said lately? If we don't process why we are doing the behaviors that cause us pain, we will just keep doing it. If we don't trace back where our abusive internal dialogue came from, we continue those thoughts. Are you tired? I can help.

I enjoy working with folks who are looking to explore their relationship and attachment patterns. Most of my clients have learned to mask, perform, or self-abandon to be in relationships. Or try to avoid them altogether. You may have experienced dysfunction in your family of origin or previous significant relationships. We work together to understand and process the parts of your identity that you had to develop to navigate and/or survive these past situations. And then we begin the process of reconnecting with your true authentic self, identifying needs, developing healthy boundaries, and building fulfilling relationships.

What if you could live your life and show up in your relationships with confidence? Despite everything that's going right, it's taken a hit, and you miss feeling alive. Intimacy feels distant, sex feels pressured or awkward. Maybe desire and connection have always been a challenge, or maybe it's complicated by anxiety, stress, betrayal, sickness, parenthood, communication problems, or years of the same routine. You want to feel at home, connected and comfortable in your body and relationships, and I want to help you thrive. My approach is warm and direct, blending attachment, neuroscience, and sex therapy.
