Finding the right fit with a therapist is a vital. I specialize in helping people heal from hard and traumatic life events. I am a good fit for people that have experienced abuse, family of origin disruptions or relational trauma. I’m passionate about working with people having difficulty moving through distress from past experiences, trusting others, and building close attachments. I help people that want to connect but find it hard and most importantly clients that are ready to dig deep and work toward meaningful healing. I also have a particular passion and affinity for working with other ADHD and neurodivergent folks like myself

Besides relationship issues, I also particularly work with various women's issues, including childhood sexual abuse and adult rape.
Relationships can be some of the most difficult things we face. When we don't have understanding of our own hearts it makes it difficult to communicate what we need, and when we don't understand, we can sometimes demand of others to read our minds and understand us. When this inevitably fails, we then blame the other for not meeting our needs. If you find yourself hurting over failed relationships, or are currently trying to make a painful relationship work, perhaps I can help you. Please visit my website for more information.

Common issues addressed in therapy include relationships, stress, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and abuse and neglect.
Making the decision to begin counseling can be difficult, and finding a therapist that is a good match can be equally overwhelming. I work to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment to make it easier to start the process. Everyone enters therapy at a different emotional place, and I work to meet clients where they are. Although I use various methods, my approach is relational because the most powerful catalyst for change is the relationship that we create together during our sessions. I want your therapy to be meaningful to you, and I am upfront and engaging during sessions.

Adult children of violent homes, of alcoholics or drug addicts, or any situation where there has been chronic abuse or neglect can leave lasting effects on one's life.
I am an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy. When relationships aren't working very well or are on the brink of ending, it really feels bad; like the rug is being pulled out from under you. Often there are solvable reasons for why these things happen. I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships. Something, that once they have learned how to do it, they can take with them because it is portable.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
