Does your life sometimes feel like a docudrama? You know the kind where you're watching in disbelief, shaking your head wondering what crazy thing will happen next? Or maybe you feel like you're doing your best to "just keep swimming", but life seems to be coming at you in tidal waves; dragging you under faster than you can doggy paddle back to the surface. Relationships, work, finances, parenting, family, friends, health can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Even on the good days it's a lot to manage and bad days can leave you feeling like it's just too much. I get it and I'm here to help.

Authentic connection gives our lives meaning, but relationships are often difficult to navigate. Do you struggle with relationships? Find it difficult to know what you really want, and even harder to communicate it to others? Do you work so hard to keep everyone else happy that you feel disconnected from your own needs? It’s frustrating when your boundaries feel like lines in the sand—easily erased by demanding partners, bosses, colleagues, even friends. Is past trauma impacting your ability to connect in the present? For over 20 years, I’ve helped people just like you forge fulfilling relationships with others and with themselves.

We are all wired for connection. Your quality-of-life hinges on the relationships you have. Are you struggling to connect with your partner/child? Confused about what they needs to feel better? Or how to help them manage anxiety or trauma? Do you feel distant from your partner? Stuck in your own trauma? Is your family constantly fighting and parenting is stressful? Is your child/partner neurodivergent and you aren’t sure how to support their emotional/sensory needs? If any of these are you, I offer a safe space to help you connect to your partner or child and heal from past trauma that may be impacting your present relationships.

Sometimes we face difficult decisions, obstacles, tragedies, and relational issues that seem insurmountable despite our attempts to make a resolution or create lasting change. By deciding to seek help and take a fresh look at issues through a systemic therapeutic lens, together, we can create a safe and fresh perspective that supports working individually and relationally to develop new skills and solutions that typically result in lasting change and resolution.

Are you feeling frustrated with your relationship? You love your partner, but you notice a disconnect that can seem overwhelming or hopeless. Can things improve? Does this mean the end of your marriage? It can seem like an exhausting cycle that you do not know how to break. Relationships need maintenance to manage the stresses of life, support to discover new ways to interact and communicate with one another, and time and space for intimacy. I would love to help you find ways to reconnect with each other, to face the fears and anxieties about the relationships in your life, and to make the therapy process a little less intimidating.

Brainwashed by our pain-avoidant culture, our egos try to boss our minds, bodies and souls around. “Quit crying.” “Get over it already.” But society's push to hurry up and get over it is inadvertently creating the pain paradox; people are being forced to try to “heal” in the trappings of shameful isolation. But if we still ourselves and allow our deepest, truest inner voice to be heard over the ego’s tyrannical whispers, we will come to realize that human suffering is NORMAL and not something to get over. Pain, no matter how subtle or severe, is a form of energy that demands to be acknowledged, befriended and even accomodated.

The journey of life can be stressful, often leading people to feel stuck and confused on which way to turn. Feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, isolation and inadequacy can develop and relationships with family members or other significant others can become strained during these times. Finding solutions can be difficult in the midst of confusion and pain.

It seems like everyone around you is smiling and enjoying life. How do they do it? They look so confident and carefree, while even the smallest task feels insurmountable to you. Just going about daily life is like climbing a mountain, yet never reaching the top. The moment your eyes open, anxiety and depression greet you, stalking you throughout the day. Your mind is full of criticism and self-doubt. Yet you keep your pain a secret, because you're mortified and ashamed. Besides, your life is no worse than anyone else’s, right? Would they believe you’re suffering -- or blame you for feeling so bad? Maybe you even blame yourself...
