Do you feel as though you are seen and understood in relationships? Or have you at times felt like you are "too much" or "not enough"? You are not alone. Many of us struggle to feel "normal" in a culture that pathologizes so much about who we are. This can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. The therapeutic relationship can offer a warm and accepting space to explore yourself and your wants and needs. Through mindfulness and somatic attunement, I will support you in strengthening the connections between your heart, body and mind so you can feel more grounded, connected, and aligned.

Our therapeutic relationship will provide the context in which this psychological journey will occur.
Life can be exhilarating or exhausting, deeply satisfying or lacking meaningful relationships or passions. It is not at all unusual at times to feel lost, confused or stuck. Often you can self- correct and get back on a clear path. But if you are reading my profile you may be considering some help to get there.

**Offering video/phone sessions for over a decade!** Relationship counseling is not about being broken, sick or wrong. It's about courage & moving forward. Maybe you fell in love with your partner, enjoyed heady days, but things changed. Maybe your relationship isn't what you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or you're afraid to take the next step. The "happily ever after" soured; however, you can have it better! Your love story can be far more interesting and fulfilling than any fairy tale. Maybe all you need is a little clarity & some skills. It is exciting to discover what makes a great relationship.

Relationship difficulties, setbacks at work, or changes in the family can make us feel anxious or depressed. Coping with world events or illness only exacerbates these issues, and we might then feel a lessened sense of control, and even lose sight of our talents and personal goals. Such times challenge us to gain greater self-understanding, as well as more effective strategies for dealing with others. Often we need to map out a new way forward.

I specialize in individuals and couples, family members of the LGBTQ+ community, relationship issues, women’s issues, PCOS, sex/intimacy, body image work, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Okay, by now you may have read a bunch of profiles and may be feeling overwhelmed. But you’re doing it, you’re taking steps to take care of yourself and that’s what matters. The world is messy, life is messy, but you don’t have to handle it alone. Here’s where I come in. I will never forget you are a real person sitting across from me and I will meet you where you are. Sometimes that means supporting you and validating your experience. Sometimes it's guiding you to shift your perspective. But, no matter what, it's always coming from a place of support, collaboration and maybe even some humor.

I'm a therapist who specializes in working with relationships and individuals with relationship-based challenges. I work to help relationships and individuals eliminate the barriers interfering with finding intimacy, connection, and validation within their relationships. My primary focus is to help clients identify their stuck points and to help them find opportunities to make changes in favor of meeting their goals. I find that success begins with creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can share their challenges and goals to identify where they are at and how I can best meet their specific needs.

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.
