Do you spend all your time/energy anxiously taking care of everyone else or feel the need to work for people’s love and approval? Do you crave softness, a slower pace, more peace? Are you tired of being a perfectionist or people pleaser? Are you ready to break free from enmeshed and toxic relationship dynamics? Then you've come to the right place! As a radical, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed psychotherapist, I focus a lot on decolonization, fluidity and flexibility; and avoid applying bandaids and rigid, outdated protocols to your healing process. Together, our sessions will involve a lot of deconstruction and inner child work.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, fears, anger, relationship, or family problems? Has balancing personal life and work become too much? These are all examples of our response to stress. Some people are dealing with everyday stressors and others bring traumatic experiences into the mix. When trauma collides with stress, life becomes challenging. Addressing these issues is both rewarding and scary. With compassion/humor I work with each person at their starting point and on the issues they bring. I see myself as the Sherpa who holds the lights and other tools to help make the path safe for you.

The therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in facilitating change.

I am inspired by the vulnerability and strength that goes into the healing process. I sincerely believe you have within you what it takes to heal and that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. Through therapy, I hope you feel renewed, motivated, confident, and safe enough in your thoughts and body to fully engage in life. I have had the honor to support those who are seeking out relief from their trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and/or anger.

Where does one begin their search for relief from a vague feeling of discomfort, the source of which is difficult to locate, or from emotional/physical pain that announces itself clearly and loudly, the source being well-known? Perhaps you've tried to think your way through the problem or to read self-help books, and neither have helped. You have the thought that if you reach out to someone, relief may follow as you move from isolation to connection and relationship. So you arrive here and I welcome your call. My therapy approach is collaborative and grounded in family systems, psychodynamic, and mindfulness meditation practices.

My focus is on creating a trusting relationship with clients that provides the safety needed to take emotional risks so they can arrive at new personal insights, be free of restrictive thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that block maturation of the wise and deeper self.
I utilize a therapeutic approach that emphasizes training received in Contemplative Psychology, Cognitive Behavior, Gestalt Therapy, & Emotional Focused Therapy. My approach evolved out of several years of working within the Adventure Therapy field supporting people in awakening to a deeper relationship with themselves, nature & community/group. I have 25yrs+ of extensive experience serving adolescents/young men. I also serve men in transitional life phases, couples struggling with communication & parents/families in conflict. I look to assist clients in understanding their mental/emotional self via a direct empathetic approach.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
