I specialize in relationships. One of the most important human needs is to be connected to others, in relationships, romantic or otherwise. When we have not been given the correct tools to relate and communicate, relationships can feel draining and hurtful.
My goal is to help you learn healthy and mature ways to relate, communicate, and cope within your relationships.
One important aspect of my work lies in helping you understand how you relate to yourself, your thoughts, emotions, and needs and to help you clarify how these elements show up in your relationships.
A traumatic history, adverse childhood experiences, previous unsuccessful relationships can all taint your visions and make it difficult to see the full picture. In my HOLISTIC approach I can support you through a journey that accounts all of who you are and what you need to feel happy and connected.
