Are you looking to make a change in your life? Have you been struggling with painful emotions, difficult life transitions, addictive behaviors, or unhealthy patterns in relationships? Or maybe things seem okay, but you're feeling stagnant and unfulfilled - wishing you felt more passionate and excited about your life? For over 30 years I have had the privilege of working with clients like you, who are looking to make a change. I believe that a caring and supportive relationship is the foundation for change in therapy, and it is from that framework that our work together will evolve and grow.

Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, I am confident that working through your suffering within the safety of a trusting relationship can give you relief and help you live more authentically.

My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy can help you learn healthy relationship skills, build emotional intelligence, grow confidence, heal, and feel good in your own skin.
You’re good at so many things, but you struggle in relationships, with confidence in who you are, or managing grief. Therapy will help you tap into your natural ability for deep connection, inner strength, and healing. Perhaps in Relationships- you struggle with communication, boundaries, or you keep getting stuck in the same patterns? In Identity- you know your worth, but have trouble with your self-esteem? In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

Relationship Issues Therapists
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.
