Relational issues arise when we stop feeling security and trust in our relationships, and feel emotionally disconnected and unable to communicate our needs clearly to one another. As a marriage and family therapist, I am guided by the idea that the more effectively dependent we are on each other, the more independent, courageous and adventurous we become. I also believe that the quality of our relationships can deeply impact our mental and physical wellness in general. Humans are bonding, relational beings who need to feel secure and loved in their close relationships. We need to know that we matter to our loved ones.

I believe that we all experience our own unique traumas in life, and it's how we respond to them that shapes our view of the world and ourselves. I'm here to help you see things from a different lens, or perhaps just help you develop new ways of responding to your own individual experiences. Healing your traumas allows you to regain your sense of power and strengthen your sense of self. I take a holistic approach to healing and wellness and believe that each client requires a unique, person-centered approach.

As human beings, we spend a lot of time looking to bring ourselves fulfillment, happiness, and connection. Sometimes though, we may feel that these are unattainable due to our self-doubts, anxieties, traumas, and fears that tell us that we aren’t deserving of these things. However, I am here to tell you that you are not a sum of your experiences, you are not the core of the issue that plagues you, and you do deserve what we are all striving to attain. I believe that your true strengths lie within, whether they are buried beneath the weight of your pain, or working diligently behind the scenes to get you to where you are today.
