I support clients in a supportive and safe environment working together towards reclaiming freedom and authenticity. I enjoy working with those who seek a deeper sense of security, truth and integrity within themselves. Bringing curiosity and openness to the process of healing, in order to move past limiting patterns, negative core beliefs and past experiences of Trauma. Within each of us lies a system of inner "knowing" which always desires our highest potential. Its through a safe and sacred space where we can learn trust ourselves again and reconnect with the world around us.

I believe the bravest thing you can do is to begin to understand your own story. At the same time, I don't think therapy should be a stale clinical experience. I aim to make the therapeutic experience genuine. I help clients form stronger, more authentic relationships in a judgment-free zone. What makes each of us vulnerable is also what makes each of us unique. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, feel insecure, keep holding onto past grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious/angry all the time. With a therapeutic style that is energizing and motivating, my goal is to empower clients to make positive changes.

If the relationship you are in is struggling, if you feel alone or as if you keep having the same fight, if you are struggling with some type of betrayal or anger I can help. In your first sessions we will discover the things that are holding your relationship back from being what you thought it could be when you first met. As we work together I will help you identify where new skills are needed and get you headed toward the relationship you have been longing for.
