My passion is for people and their relationships. Eastern thought teaches us that pain is inevitable, suffering is optional; life and relationships have the ability to create struggles in everyday life that creates pain, but it is through our attitudes, behaviors, and meaning that we place ourselves in situations where we create our own suffering. By helping people find the tools to cultivate their unique skills, I believe we can find the hope and fulfillment to overcome our suffering. My focus is on individuals and couples as they search for connection, intimacy, love and success.
We all carry experiences that can challenge our ability to move forward and create healthy relationships and behaviors. I will support you in exploring your attachment style and the impact of your experiences on your current relationships. I use EMDR to support healing from trauma and have extensive experience working with substance use disorders.
it is through developing a safe and comfortable relationship with my clients that I believe the most successful therapeutic work is done. I offer compassion and understanding to every individual with whom I work and strive to create an environment free of judgement.
