Enough heart to walk in your shoes, enough health to be subjective and tell you the truth, enough love experienced that all I can do is pay it forward. Safe, sound, secure...that is The Sanctuary. How can we go to someone and express the deepest, most vulnerable things? Because the desire to heal prevails. And because you find yourself feeling safe. I am here to help you find the wholeness you long for, by walking with you on your journey and helping you uncover clues and pieces of the puzzle. Counseling is a collaborative here. You are the expert. Together, we find the key.
I offer counseling services to couples, individuals ages 16+, and families of all backgrounds. We will use an approach that puts you in touch with what's on the inside and what it's trying to tell you, creating healthy balance in you and your relationships with other people as well as food, thoughts, sex, alcohol, etc.
We are here to love one another through our actions and through our words. Therapists are here to model, interpret, and teach verbal and non-verbal expression of that love to ourselves first and foremost, and then to others. Self-love is the answer. Everything else stems from there.

I use Internal Family Systems, which holds that we all have many parts to us in the form of protectors and exiles (see 'No Bad Parts' by Richard Schwartz). This is complimented by Narrative, Somatic, Emotion-Focused, Gottman (couples and relationships), and Cognitive therapy, as needed. You will experience increased awareness and self-love.
