I work with individuals and couples to untangle from patterns of drama, criticism, and codependency. I teach clients how to turn arguments into proactive conversations with win-win solutions. Our work together can include healing past hurts and trauma, feeling more sexually connected, and creating positive life changes. I am most interested in supporting my clients in finding relief from suffering and being truly happy.
Curiosity, empathy, honesty, and humor are qualities I find reliable for transformation. My approach is holistic, including the body, the mind, the emotions, and the spirit. I see everyone I work with as my equals, powerful and capable of creating the lives that they most want.
I am skilled working with Couples, Anxiety, Communication, Anger, Sexuality, Trauma, Self-Esteem, Gender, Relationship Conflict (family, partner, spouse), LGBTQ Issues, Stress, Career and Life Goals or Change. I look forward to opening the conversation.
