I'm deeply committed to helping you heal, grow, and engage in the relationships you crave to thrive within! I help teens, adults and couples find hope and gain greater joy. Being in relationship can sometimes feel like it's hard work - because it is! But it doesn't have to be a constant struggle.

Maybe you are working so hard every day because something from your past is still weighing on you.

I work with people who have tried everything and are still feeling stuck. Lingering trauma can cast a long shadow over life, causing feelings of dread, shame, and a constant sense that something bad is lurking around the corner, even when everything seems fine.

Others struggle with the isolation that comes from eating disorders and skewed body image, or they might belong to families weighed down by old pain, caught in frustrating cycles of arguments and guilt.
