This means creating a safe and warm therapeutic relationship that can be used to explore how to reclaim your power as you navigate a world that may have made you feel powerless at times.
Throughout life, you may have faced injustices causing you to question your worth. I strive for my clients to be fully seen and held in compassion as we explore your past and how it has shaped you, while discovering ways to reclaim your power in the face of interpersonal and systemic harm. I have specialized training and experience in working with substance use (particularly in harm-reduction), PTSD and trauma, racial/ethnic identity, anger management, self-compassion, men and masculinity, veterans, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Throughout my life, schooling, and work as a therapist, I’ve learned a lot about people and the importance of connection. I believe in the power relationships can have in the healing process, so I not only enjoy working with families, couples, and individuals to improve their relationships and individual functioning, but I also strive to be someone with whom my clients can have a strong connection. My belief is that such a client-therapist relationship gives space for vulnerability and promotes change.

My field of specialties include: Women's issues; Relationship conflicts; Abuse, trauma and loss; Shame and Co-dependency; and Sex and Love Addiction.
Relationships are vital to becoming a whole person, including your relationship with yourself. But quality relationships don't happen by accident. Real love is built the old fashioned way - through hard work. Whether you're struggling with how you view and treat yourself or struggling with others, therapy is a wise investment and can help you learn to manage the very best of who you are. This involves developing a skill set that will enable you to learn how powerful you really are in forming lasting connections with others and take an honest look at the barriers to those connections.

I believe a therapeutic relationship must be free of judgement and based in compassion and empathy. I use a person-centered approach to therapy, meaning I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I am there to meet you where you are at. Even if we experience similar life situations, no two lives are the same. I engage each individual in a manner that allows them to be their authentic selves in a safe and empowering environment. I believe insight, reflection, and personal awareness are powerful tools for understanding ourselves better and changing our lives.

Therapy can help you gain insights into your past, present, and future, and empower you to become the person you aspire to be.

When you feel in control, new opportunities and positive possibilities can emerge that you may have never considered before. My approach to therapy is to create a warm and welcoming space where all thoughts, feelings, and possibilities are welcomed. While therapy can be challenging, it can also be incredibly rewarding. My goal as your therapist is to help you feel a renewed sense of self-control.

Life often comes with obstacles that are too overwhelming to tackle alone. Whether these may come in the form of traumatic experiences, inner struggles, relationship issues, or life adjustments, it can be difficult to seek extra support as you navigate through them. I work to help individuals navigate their journey through life’s hurdles by helping them identify strengths within themselves and their relationships, and to find meaning in their challenges. I primarily work with older children and adults who have experienced childhood trauma, sexual/physical abuse, betrayal/infidelity, and grief/loss.

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.
