Connection is an essential part of life, but many times, our experiences, life transitions, or personal narratives can leave us feeling disconnected, from ourselves and in our relationships. Perhaps you feel like you’ve tangibly achieved a lot, but struggle to feel worthy or confident. Perhaps you feel like you’re in a loving relationship, but struggle to trust your partner. I work with clients desiring to strengthen their connections through exploring what is causing the disconnects and preventing them from being able to rewrite and live their most authentic lives.

It's too much to deal with at times; what life throws at you. Anxiety, anger and relationship stress have become normal in your daily life. Therapy isnt something you have tried or you feel hasn't worked for you in the past. It's hard to tell your story...again. I support couples navigating high-conflict dynamics, relationship ruptures, and the desire to reconnect; individuals who are moving through life transitions or exploring their sense of identity and direction with a focus on emotional regulation of anger and anxiety, the unique challenges of the military population, and 50+ lifestyles.
