Often people seek support when it feels like "something" isn't working - perhaps in a relationship, your career, or within yourself. That feeling may be connected to a specific event, relationship, or personal trait, or it might be hard to identify that "something." As we get to know each other, we'll work to identify what's not working and determine how to bring change and relief. We'll likely notice patterns in your relationships, ways of approaching problems, or in how you see the world. Then we'll explore how these patterns impact your life, so you have the power to choose whether to continue them or develop new patterns.

It’s my belief that each person possesses unique strengths, qualities and all the internal resources they need to overcome challenges they face in life. Unfortunately, sometimes along the way, we lose connection with what those strengths and resources are and my goal as a therapist is to help you discover and utilize those strengths to develop natural capacity to live a deeper, happier and more fulfilling life. I create a safe and nurturing environment for you, free from judgment and harmful messages, where you can explore yourself and find your way back to a sense of wholeness.

Most people benefit from having a trusted and trained professional to confide in and collaborate with - to make changes, deal with emotional pain, and search for understanding and meaning. Humans are complex beings and life is full of challenges. We all create "protective measures" to help us cope with difficulties we have encountered. Unconscious relational patterns, expectations, and beliefs about ourselves and others develop. Unfortunately, many of these ways of being interfere with creating satisfying lives and relationships. Our habituated patterns can be constricting, or lead to troubling behaviors or symptoms.
