My Services
The path towards healing begins with awareness. You may be feeling stuck, frustrated, angry, out-of-control, depressed or anxious. Sometimes this awareness shows up in patterns of negative or self-destructive behaviors. Those of us who survive trauma are often blindsided by negative behaviors that feel normal to us but create lack of connection and intimacy within our relationships and destabilize us when we are challenged. Healing begins when we recognize that what we have been doing isn't working. Therapy can help clarify the healing you need to make positive changes that are sustainable. I work collaboratively with clients in a safe space that allows you to connect with your authentic self and reclaim your life.
I work with couples helping them learn how to transform reactivity into responsible communication that improves intimacy and connection. Often relationships end up feeling like endless cycles of disagreement and discord, or can feel administrative or lonely. This often does not change without the willingness of both partners to learn what will be healing for their own relationship. Without coping skills, most individuals resort to maladaptive response patterns they learned in their family or origin, from trauma or past negative experiences. I work interactively with couples to help you deepen and develop ways to reignite affection, communicate your wants and needs, and reduce resentment. Healthy relationships should not be confusing or chaotic. I have specialization in working with codependency and couples struggling to make boundaries. Whether you are looking to deepen your connection or assess whether or not you want to continue in the relationship you are in, I hope to give you support, tools and encouragement on your journey.
I have 10 years experience working successfully with individuals and families looking for support with addiction and recovery. Sobriety can be a difficult journey and often impossible without support. Many who have recovered from substances struggle with other addictions (food, porn, toxic relationships, codependency) and trade one addiction for another. We will work collaboratively to discover or continue to heal the wounds that create addiction including childhood trauma and sexual abuse, abandonment and neglect, and difficult childhoods. Together, we will reinforce or create healthy coping skills that give you relief without relapse.
