Finding a therapist or life/ relationship coach can be a daunting task.
Have you been wanting to change? Have you been trying to change and haven't achieved your goals? Is your relationship in need of change? It can be so hard to find motivation to start or sustain change. It can feel so isolating when you are unhappy and unsure what to do. You constantly question yourself: what is wrong with me? Why can't I do things like other people? We all get stuck. We all need additional perspective at times. The solutions you seek are within you and I will help you find them.

The therapeutic relationship is an essential part of success in therapy.
Seeking and getting support isn't always easy, but we aren't meant to endure life's challenges alone. Reaching out for support is itself a brave act of self love, and in doing so you will prove to yourself the depth of your abilities and the unlimited potential for growth with which you possess. I believe people are capable of so much, and my goal is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve what you want to get out of your life and your relationships with others.

I have been in the therapy field for 10 years and have worked primarily with eating disorders, highly sensitive people, families, couples, and narcissistic/codependent relationship patterns, including those involving abuse.
If you struggle with low self worth, setting boundaries, losing yourself in your relationships, feeling over stimulated and overwhelmed by life, lack of self and intuitive and body connection, we might be a particularly aligned fit to work together. If you are struggling in your relationship with food and/or body image I can offer you support and hope for healing. I am an attachment-oriented therapist when it comes to supporting the parent/child relationship. I believe that when working with children and youth it is vitally important to work congruently with parents and caregivers as well.

Do you find your current relationship(s) disappointing, have trouble keeping relationships or finding one at all? Our patients have concerns about how trauma impacts their daily life. They often report that food feels overwhelming and confusing. We will track and understand the unsettling and yet important feelings you have about yourself, your past, your food intake and your relationships with others. Common topics addressed in session include anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulty, feeling out of control with food, concerns about sex and more. Taking the first step to examine this with us isn't always easy but can be life-altering.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important piece of the process through which growth and healing can occur. Helping clients to feel safe enough to share their feelings is paramount, and to offer hope is vital. It is important for the fearful to know that courage is being afraid, but doing it anyway. This concept promotes self esteem, and helps people to move forward in their lives. I use a variety of theoretical orientations, but chose the ones that are best suited for my client needs. I give clients tools to work with that will help them change their negative thoughts to positive ones..

With help, you can work towards a new type of relationship, focused on truly knowing one another.
The violation of trust in a relationship is one of the most devastating things you can experience. Infidelity leaves you feeling confused, alone, and hopeless. Affairs are often a symptom of other struggles in a relationship, where one or both partners feel a lack of being seen and a loss of connection. Believe it or not, this can be an opportunity to strengthen your relationship. Infidelity can be the worst or best thing that happened to you. The next steps are up to you. With determination, hard work, and the right support, you can use it to heal.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
