"Helping people find peace in their relationships and meaning in their lives is what my work is about."

Welcome to the first step in growing, transforming and celebrating the person you have always wanted to be and having the life you have always dreamed of.  True growth into our best self comes first from awareness, then from a desire to change, and then from doing the inner work it takes for that growth to occur.  Therapy is about illuminating that awareness, then getting the tools to make it happen.  There is a misconception that therapy takes a long time, or is just for “crazy” people.  Therapy does not need to take a long time in order to be effective and anyone can benefit from the insight and awareness they get from it. 

What are the benefits of therapy and how do you know when it’s the ”right” time to go?  These are some of the issues clients come to see me for, all in the comfort and safety of a non-judgmental, supportive and healing environment. 

When the distance between you and your partner or child feels unbearable at times and you can’t find the tools, courage or will to bridge the distance.

Do you get triggered easily and hope to find a way to be less reactive and more loving with others and yourself?

Does your negative “self-talk” hold you back in life and keep you from showing up fully in the world?  Yet what you really would like is to transcend ineffective unconscious patterns and create healthy self-esteem and relationships with others.

Do the same dysfunctional patterns keep appearing in your life (for example, are you always attracting the same kind of unhealthy significant other, or do you never seem to make enough money, or are you frequently eliciting angry responses from people, etc) and you want help figuring out why this is so?

Are you experiencing the loss of a love, through death, divorce, or transition?  Are you grieving a current or past loss and are seeking healing, acceptance and the ability to move forward?

Do you feel a desire to be supported, understood and championed in creating the life you know you deserve?

If you are ready to be challenged to take your life to the next level and be your “highest Self”, now is the time.

If not now, when?
