Are you afraid, confused, or struggling with your relationships? I work with client(s) dealing with interpersonal issues and communication challenges. It may be a husband and wife re-defining their roles with life changes, or an individual considering a career change. The problem often reveals itself at the surface when arguing and verbal conflict ensue, but the source of the problem needs a deeper adjustment, such as adjusting roles or providing more support for a family member. Regardless, clear communication usually allows the individual, couple, or family to achieve the goal of collaboration and compromise.

I am a mediator, translator, and witness. I can help clients rewrite their narratives, fostering growth and healing. I attend workshops, read, and learn from my clients to stay atop of the latest information and cultural norms. Together, you can learn to hold space for transformation and healing. In a first session, I would hope to teach you how to navigate the therapeutic process, go over expectations, and your personal goals. Eventually, I hope therapy feels as comfortable as eating pizza in your sweatpants & chatting with a trusted friend (with real science going on in the background).
