At times we are faced with circumstances that feel painful & unfair. You have grief over the loss of an important person, yet others tell you, “it was their time” instead of offering condolences. You’re grieving the loss of a loved pet and people say, “it’s just a cat” or “you can always get another dog” completely dismissing the relationship you had with your companion. If you have been through trauma, you can begin to question everything you once believed in, trying to make sense of your world. We all need support to grow through what we go through. My role can be to walk the journey with you so that you don’t have to go it alone.

Frustrated? Out-of-control eating ? Feeling lost after divorce or breakup of a relationship? You try over and over again and say to yourself, "This time it will be different". But, inevitably the diet or relationship fails and you are back where you started feeling alone, overwhelmed and sad. Maybe you are confused about how this could happen again. If you are fed up with having the same experience and want to take your life to optimal levels, now is the time to take care of YOU first.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, eating and body image concerns, loneliness, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or success and achievement worries, we can work to understand the experiences contributing to distress.
Relationships are vital for survival and necessary for growth. Often, however, people experience disconnections from others, which can be a major source of suffering. Although we deeply desire and need emotional connections, many people are reasonably apprehensive about the risks involved in intimacy. As a result, one may keep parts of themselves hidden or silenced. This serves an important protective function, which must be honored and understood with compassionate curiosity. Therapy can offer a safe space to relinquish unproductive patterns and consider new, more balanced and flexible ways of relating.
