Life can bring confusion, self-doubt and overwhelm. Perhaps your family’s in your ear all the time, or your friends or spouse. And you bend to make them happy, but are then resentful and unfulfilled. You’re doing your best to manage your feelings but conflicts are challenging. Relationships are challenging. You need help making sense of things and understanding yourself and your world. I work with adults whose unhealthy behavioral patterns prevent them from leading more joyful, empowered lives.

My training involves a psychodynamic approach, along with attachment models of understanding ourselves & the perceptions we've formed in our mental worlds. The ways in which we hold onto our experiences & the meanings we’ve associated with them are some of the contributing factors towards inner struggles & imbalances. My approach is engaging, compassionate & attentive. I slow you down so that you can hear, sense and understand yourself in different ways.

We move through your pain and vulnerabilities. We observe repeat patterns and help lighten the emotional entanglements that cause them. You move your closed off parts closer to you, as your feelings towards them change. Inside each of us, there is a need to align with our core values and beliefs, with our self worth and truth. We’ll identify behaviors stemming from your pain and help you align with actions coming from your worth. Life can begin to feel lighter, more manageable, more at ease.
