You might find yourself perpetually on guard, exhausted from the never-ending battle against emotional triggers, barely catching a break on what should be good days. This relentless stress can gnaw at your core, making even your best days feel overshadowed by an ever-present cloud of past hurts. The weight of these memories can make it feel impossible to move forward, as they color every interaction and experience with their shadow.

Do you feel like if you fight about the dishes one more time you might just light them on fire? Tired of fighting about the same thing all the time with no resolution? Deep down are you afraid they're just going to leave? Relationships can be anything but easy at times and yet require such vulnerability that it can be frightening. We get so caught up in our feelings that it becomes difficult to see what any resolution might be. Imagine a life where the little things don't set off huge arguments, where conversations flow naturally, and where you feel secure in the knowledge that you're both in it for the long haul.

In all of my years of experience in working with people, I have found that what people most want and need is a safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. It's within that place that people begin to heal. My passion is in helping people find healing at the root cause of their pain. We all have painful experiences. When we can address those areas of pain (which often get reinforced time and time again), we can actually overcome the things that make us feel stuck.

My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future.

My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply, naturally. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.
