Let's get started

I realize that no two people are the same and as such I tailor therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. My approach is affirming, solution-focused and client-centered. If you feel stuck in your relationships, have trouble identifying or communicating your needs and boundaries, or struggle with past traumas;I can help you realize your strengths, gain skills to address any weaknesses, and adjust behaviors and thoughts that may interfere with creating the life you desire. 

My practice specializes in treating individuals, couples and families who struggle with relationship issues , conflict resolution or communicating boundaries and needs.  I offer comprehensive services dealing with:

Whether you are in a relationship that needs improvement;
Or are single and seeking to break old relationship patterns;
Even if traumas from past relationships have impacted you (Narcissistic/emotional abuse/cPTSD by partner or caregiver)
I can help you create the life and love you deserve!

My Services

If you had a past partner or caregiver who struggled with issues such as narcissistic tendencies, lack of empathy, personality disorders, and/or addictions; you may be impacted by cPTSD.  "Complex PTSD" can be caused by repeated exposure to trauma within a relationship.  This includes toxic behaviors such as gaslighting, lying, manipulation, blame shifting, and intentional inflictions of psychological distress, by creating feelings of guilt or shame. These past wounds must be healed in order for you to move on and create the healthy and loving relationships that you deserve. I would be honored to walk with you in this journey.

Conflict Resolution

In any type of relationship, be it personal or professional, conflict is bound to happen.

When you reach out to others with a request or concern, does it result in blame and conflict instead of understanding? You can change that! When you learn how to best express your feelings & values; know how to set boundaries gracefully; and can give understanding to others even when you disagree, it allows for more kindness and compassion for all. Let me show you how to get there!
