The spark in your relationship has faded. You're not exactly sure when it happened, but you feel stuck. Neither of you know what to do because you fear another argument, rejection or the idea of being vulnerable. You really want this to work but so many hurtful things have been said and done. At times you feel hopeless since nothing is working. If only you could move forward as a couple. What if you could unmask yourself, share your truth without judgment and increase emotional and sexual intimacy? This may be the best thing you've done to take your relationship to a level of intimacy you have never experienced.

I interweave the skills of mindfulness and teachings of Buddhist psychology to help clients manage anxiety, stress, and depression, increase self-esteem, refine communication, set boundaries, and navigate difficult relationship and family issues.
I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental, embodied, and collaborative. I draw from a variety of models to meet clients where they are. I provide a humanistic, relational psychodynamic perspective that offers space to explore how past experiences shape present patterns of relating to others and the self.

Within our therapeutic relationship, I will gently challenge harmful thinking and unhealthy relational patterns through compassionate, logical questions and dialogue.
No one needs to tell you that life absolutely sucks sometimes. Do you get angry with yourself for doing that thing again or still feeling this way? Are you feeling discouraged about what you are going through? I want to be here for you. Whatever your circumstances, I hope to encourage you to think critically about your experiences while understanding that your struggles do not define you as a person. Together, we can learn how to communicate, identify and regulate emotions, understand you in full context, and process past/present circumstances. I aim to develop a safe therapeutic relationship with you that focuses on your goals.

Do you feel trapped in a constant cycle of frustration, loneliness, and uncertainty in your relationship? Relationship issues can create a profound sense of sadness or despair, as you may feel unfulfilled, unheard, or unloved. When trust is broken it is not uncommon to feel anxious about the future. This is a weight that can affect every aspect of your life, impacting your mood, health, and overall well-being. With commitment and hard work the connection and understanding that you long for is possible.

Instead of finding a culprit, our goal will be to work together against rigid patterns of relating that leave you feeling disconnected in the relationship.
As a certified EFT therapist, I specialize in working with couples who have trouble communicating, resolving conflict, or restoring breaches of trust. Sometimes we feel as though our partner is speaking a different language and attempts at connection only leave us feeling more alone. When we lose faith in our partner's ability to meet our needs, we tend to respond by fighting to restore a felt sense of connection or by backing off and avoiding conflict to preserve whatever connection may be left. We might feel that our partner doesn't care for us or that we've somehow failed our partners and that we may never get it right.

Many of us did not take a Relationship Course in school, or learn to sit in vulnerability.
Are you going through a life change, a loss, or experienced a traumatic event? These situations may leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and perhaps, like checking out. Do you wish you had taken a Relationship course? What if you had access to a relational leader to learn skills and bounce life's situations off of? Wouldn't that be helpful?

You are overwhelmed with all the responsibilities on your place. You love your family but you seem to be impatient with them all the time.

You want change in your life, you just don't know where to start. And you're ready for help.

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.
