You can heal don't just survive. I help clients heal life/marital crisis, overwhelming sadness, generational trauma, panic attacks, self-defeating thoughts, intimacy issues, anxiety, stress, anger and grief. My expertise is in emotional release therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, clinically supporting and empowering you to release the painful emotions and agonizing thoughts consuming your peace. You will begin to love yourself, “Feel Understood”, and adopt the skills to support healthy relationships, restoring you to a healthier sense of self. My style is evidenced, down-to-earth, client centered with a mixed approach.
For couples, I am passionate about helping you resolve the power struggle "to be heard" that happens in relationships, helping you see that the past can influence how you both show up to each other. We build mutual understanding, conflict resolution and communication skills, and address the areas causing disunity, sometimes that means generational trauma.
I am registered with the Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling, certified in Crisis Prevention Interventions (CPI), specializing in Crisis Stabilization, Marital-Crisis Intervention, Trauma Recovery (TRM), Grief, Substance Abuse, Diagnosis Navigation, Stress, Emotional Disturbances, Body Image and Life Crisis.

Next session: We explore the nature of masculinity and femineity and how each prefers to be nurtured in relationships. Is it a man's birthright to lead? Are women their helpmates? What allows a woman to feel safe enough to let a man lead? Do women prefer to lead or be led? Are traditional values healthy for a relationship or outdated? Bring your wine and music, let's ask each other directly. This is peer-to-peer 21+ co-ed group, designed for you to heal from relationship trauma, understand the opposite sex and connect with mature singles.
