I believe that our relationships are the most powerful and influential part of our lives. Whether those relationships are with our friends, family members, co-workers, or even with ourselves, they have a profound impact on our wellbeing. These connections can be a source of great joy and growth for each of us. They can also be the source of pain, anger, disappointment, and sorrow. As our relationships change throughout our lives it’s often helpful to have a safe space to process those experiences and feelings. My goal as a therapist is to ensure you have an open, accepting, and supportive setting to share and heal.

When one door closes but another door isn't yet open, it can get lonely out in that hallway. Maybe a loved one has died, or you've received a diagnosis or you just moved to a new area...Is what you're feeling grief, trauma or culture shock? Or all of the above? How do you find courage, support and strength when you're in this in-between territory? It helps to have someone who's been there listen as you sort it out. Someone who gives you space to discern what you need. Someone who understands your language and can help you recognize and explore new possibilities. Someone who helps you discover who you are now, and who you can become
