Relationships (breakups, separation, dating, divorce) can bring up anxiety, regret, fear and self-judgment. These effect the relationship we have with ourselves. Resentments, anger, and guilt - toward others and within ourselves make us feel disconnected and alone. As a therapist, my aim is to help you reconnect with your SELF. Everyone i...
You’re different from those around you. You sometimes feel stuck in patterns that don't work anymore, but you don't know what else you're supposed to do.

I can help. My ideal clients are hard working and driven, both by your own strengths and a desire to make your family and maybe eve...

I have an eclectic approach that is primarily roo...

In therapy, we will work together to help you better understand your behaviors, o...
