Do you struggle with pressure, emotions, confidence, or anxiety? Are you stressed or overwhelmed trying to manage your time or responsibilities? Is defining yourself as a person without the title "athlete" involved in the description impossible for you? Are the nerves before a game beating you? When you make a mistake, do you find it hard to bounce back? Are you a leader having a hard time finding followers? Do you want to become more resilient and consistent with your thoughts and overall game play? Do you just want to take your game to the next level? Does your team have issues with chemistry, maintaining focus, or setting goals?

I have extensive training in Family Systems Theory, Experiential Therapy and as of June 2024, I am trained in Attachment Focused EMDR and working towards being fully certified. Family has always been very important to me and that’s why I love systems therapy. So many of our wounds are tied to a relationship (or a lack thereof) and at the same time, healing can only be found in relationships. Sometimes we are afforded an opportunity to heal a relationship and other times we have to find internal healing with the support of other relationships.

I believe that authenticity is the gateway to the soul. When one needs help, it is often times difficult to become completely vulnerable enough to disclose to others and accept what life may throw at us. When we learn to expose ourselves wholeheartedly with someone we trust, I believe this is where true connection is established.

It has been wisely said that we are wounded in relationship AND we heal in relationship. This therapeutic relationship is an invitation for you to safely engage your internal experience and connect with what you most need or want for yourself. Out of our wounding, we develop patterns that emerge to help us navigate our environments. These patterns can also keep us from being fully present to our lives, leaving us feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, ashamed, depressed, and lonely. My approach to therapy is led by kindness and curious exploration, supporting you as the client to identify the genuine longings under these patterns.

Do you suspect your negative moods, thoughts, and behaviors stem more from the difficulties of being a human being than on having a mental illness? Is it hard to find people who understand your pain? If so, I'm glad our paths have crossed. I focus on depression, addictions, and anxieties that have existential roots. I enjoy working with people fighting for recovery and those struggling with suicidality, aging, terminal illness, grief, loneliness, death anxiety, and loss of meaning. I believe in building new skills. But my ultimate aim is to help you find and liberate your higher Self. Together, we can get better results for you.

You want and need to be there for the important people in your life. You've dedicated yourself to helping clients, customers, family, friends, or patients in need. But somehow it's simultaneously fulfilling and draining. You need a vacation. But who needs those anyway? You'll be okay... right? Giving is a noble value.
