About

I help my clients navigate difficulties in their emotions, relationships, and other areas of their lives by gaining a deeper awareness of their patterns, strengths and needs. Many of my clients are seeking help with challenges that can show up as anxiety, self-sabotage, putting their own needs last, disconnection or growing distance in their relationship, and a general sense of feeling lost. I help my clients find ways to prioritize their emotional health and boundaries so they can thrive in their authentic selves and strengthen relationships. Using a safe and supportive relationship, one can explore and better understand their emotions, areas of avoidance and gain clarity around themes in their lives. For couples, we work together to identify harmful patterns and dynamics in the relationship, to bring about shared understanding with improved communication and connection.
