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.

I believe that the courageous step of exploring therapy can lead to healing, growth, and a changed life. I have a passion for bearing witness to each individual’s unique story. My work as a trauma therapist has sparked a passion in me to create safety when a client has been completely robbed of their sense of security. I feel especially passionate working with those who identify with having trauma and clients that are navigating adolescence.

We all feel "stuck" in our life on occasion. Sometimes we move forward in the direction of our best intentions & other times, we move away from where we want to be. It is my belief that the most important relationship is the one we have with ourself. We all hold the answers within us but sometimes life challenges, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety & a multitude of life complications, cause us to lose our way and feel stuck. To get unstuck, it may be necessary to seek advice outside of what friends and family can provide.
