Personal and relationship growth occurs the most authentically when people have an opportunity to communicate their feelings and emotions in a non-judgmental, open environment.
Do you feel like you and your partner are having the same argument repeatedly? Do you wish you could see yourself the way others see you? Do you find yourself getting caught up in situations or relationships that feel unnecessarily difficult? Many of my clients have experienced similar situations. I often work with people to explore topics such as relationship concerns, self-esteem, body image, communication barriers, stress/anxiety, life transitions and women's issues.

Infertility counseling is also a special interest of mine, including third party reproduction issues (donor and surrogacy).
My therapeutic approach varies depending on the issues with which you are struggling and who you are as a person. I don't have one approach that fits all clients but tailor my work to the individual. In general, I help clients identify and enhance their current psychological strengths in order to address their problems.

Today, some of the most common difficulties I treat are anxiety, family conflicts, addictions, life changes, divorce, co-dependency, eating disorders, feeling stuck, addictive and obsessive behaviors, lack of self-esteem, depression, complex trauma, relationship issues, including parenting and romantic partners and healing narcissistic relationships.
Accepting new clients. ‘How did I get here’. ‘How do I get out,’ are common thoughts we all have. We learn to survive and do the best in the worlds we have grown up in; and sometimes we find ourselves going round and round in a strange sort of ‘uncomfortable comfort’ or ‘functional dysfunction’ of our lives. I strive to see the world through your lens and understand your unique family, cultural, and identity experiences. In every individual exists a craving to embody a life unburdened by excessive guilt and shame, while having the freedom to enjoy a more meaningful and joyful human experience.

Just as most trauma is incurred through relationships, it's my belief that providing a safe and accepting therapeutic relationship helps clients feel secure in exploring their feelings.
I approach my work with the belief each of us deserves to be seen and heard. For many of us, the most important thing in life is to feel connected, supported, and secure with those we care about. I have spent the last few years working with clients with histories of trauma incurred through relationships, be they family, romantic, platonic, or professional. The work clients and I do together focuses initially on processing the impact of our relationships, developing coping skills to deal with current behaviors, and moving forward with a healthier, more balanced life.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
