I believe the two major problem areas we face in life deal with our relationships and our coping; and the main factors influencing how we manage these issues relies on our attachment style, trauma history, and our emotional intelligence, or lack there-of. My job is to help unlock the unconscious- help bring awareness to these issues and how they may be negatively impacting your life and relationships. Essentially, my aim is to assist you in identifying and allowing yourself to express emotions, and learn to tolerate/manage anxiety and discomfort, rather than self-soothe in various, unsafe ways that are causing problems in your life.

Together, we can figure out how to best use your strengths and skills to bring meaning and joy back into your day.

You've been through some difficult and painful experiences in your life. There’s this unspoken pressure to “get over it" and "move on" because it's in the past. You say to yourself, “why can’t I just feel better already? What’s wrong with me?” You feel like no one cares about you or understands what you’re going through. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. You may even feel overwhelmed by anxiety - even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere and you don’t understand what brought it on or how to make yourself feel better.
