Waitlist for new clients
At times I know life can be daunting and overwhelming with life stressors, the complexity that comes with navigating relationships, or perhaps the feeling that something is holding you back from reaching your full potential; yet part of you wants to feel better and move forward. I have specific experience working with individuals, couples, and families who struggle mental health issues and trauma. In my practice, I am affirming of people of all backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations. Everyone is unique; in my work, I strive to identify the specific factors that foster growth and healing for my clients.

It’s tough when you or your relationship feel broken. I’m here to collaborate with you and figure out how to connect those pieces back together so that you feel stronger. It is natural to start questioning yourself and not feel accepted. You may start getting stressed, feeling frustrated, unhappy, and blame yourself/others because there are needs that do not feel met. There can be nagging worries you may have that are preventing you from living your full life. And if we allow ourselves to dig deeper, you may feel invisible, a burden or that maybe you don't deserve better...

Communication with your partner has broken down, causing trust in each other and in your relationship/marriage to erode. It seems like every conversation turns into an argument. Old grievances resurface, increasing anxiety, bringing unhealed wounds to the top. Each of you has expectations of the other, and when they go unmet, you're both left feeling disappointed. The cycle of blame and resentment has caused frustration and emotional distance. You remember when your life as a couple felt joyful, peaceful, and full of laughter. You love each other but have no idea how to heal the rift that's grown between you. Healing is possible.
