Do you feel weary of the constant parade of "failed" relationships that show up in your life? Would you like to discover the secret to attracting and keeping a healthy committed relationship? If you answered "yes" to these questions, you have come to the right place. I have 25 years of experience in helping people just like you to understand how the patterns of unhealthy relationships are laid down very early in life. Relationships are like a "dance" in which each partner performs their "steps". Becoming aware of your "steps" means you can change them, and reap amazing rewards.
My speciality is helping people of all ages to lead emotionally healthy and richly rewarding lives, mostly through taking a good look at the quality of the intimate relationships they are involved in. I see mature adults who are suffering anxiety, and depression, and want a more fulfilling, happy, life
I use a combination of methods in my therapy practice. First, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment. Then, from this "sacred" space my client and I co-create and implement an individualized treatment plan using a combination of dreamwork, narrative therapy, psychodynamic exploration, and cognitive behavioral approaches
