Understanding that each client brings their own unique story, struggles, and aspirations, I aim to meet you where you are. Your journey may involve navigating the complexities of family dynamics, coping with the physical and emotional changes brought on by perimenopause and menopause, grappling with the impacts of trauma, facing the challenges of addiction, or untangling the intricacies of relationship issues. These situations can often lead to feelings of isolation, overwhelm, and a yearning for a path towards healing and understanding.

I emphasize ensuring a positive therapeutic relationship founded on trust and security to create a safe place for you to heal and grow.
When our emotions start to overwhelm us, we can often feel like we are caught in a loop. One thing leads to another and then another, until we feel so consumed by our emotions and don’t know how to get out. We start to accept our current state as a norm and continue to live in a state of discomfort and restlessness. I am here to support you in breaking the cycle. I offer a compassionate space without judgment for you to decompress and unpack these feelings. My goal is to work collaboratively with you towards therapeutic goals and regain a sense of connection.

Together we can work to create a safe space to explore the relationship to the self through values and the relationship to others through an attachment-informed lens to acquire deeper meaning of yourself and your relationships with the intent to transform and heal.
Do you struggle with a loss of a sense of self that affects your relationships, ability to connect with yourself, others, or the world?

Do you wonder whether there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hope for a secure, safe, and trusting connection with yourself and with others in your relationships? It is my goal to walk alongside you on your path to self-discovery and my passion to connect with the part of you that believes in you as we work together to create your most empowered future.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
