You're here because
​
-
You are in PAIN! Emotional and spiritual pain.
-
You've forgotten what feels good, and don't see how it can ever get better
-
You're feeling lost, alone, afraid, frustrated, angry, and depressed
-
You feel like life is passing you by, and you can't seem to climb out of the rut that you are in
-
You're good at putting on a front and presenting as having it all together. You're so good at it in fact, that people tell you things like, 'You're so calm.' 'You always know what to do.' Even, 'Gosh, I wish I had your life.' And yet what they don't see is that you are walking around with this primal scream locked inside.
-
You've tried everything! You've been to therapy before, you've attended retreats, you've read every self-help book out there, you've even tried following inspirational people on Instagram, and still NOTHING is working
​
You KNOW things have to change. You KNOW things aren't working. And yet, in this moment still that inertia, still that voice telling you, 'not right now. It's not that bad. You don't really have time.' But if not now, when? How bad do things need to get before you finally accept that you can't do it all alone?
Haven't you had enough?!
​
I have been there myself. Like you, I have talked myself out of reaching out for the help I so desperately need. I have hovered over buttons on pages like this, on the verge of reaching out before walking away. Back to the same problems. Back to the same struggles. Back to the same discomfort. Back to the same PAIN!
​Let me help you.

OUR WORK TOGETHER

My Philosophy
We exist in relationship. I do not believe in isolated healing, as much as it has been popularized in the self-help movement.
Successful, integrated humans have always talked, shared, laughed together, cried together, raged together, healed together.
The lack of the genuine, unflinching mirror of an emotionally intimate connection with another human being, does damage far beyond any that can be seen by the naked eye.
STOP SCROLLING looking for connection, it's not there.
STOP SWIPING looking for loving acceptance, it's not there.
Where this connection CAN be found is in the loving holding exemplified in the progressive growth of emotional intimacy that naturally occurs in the therapeutic relationship.
I'm not afraid of your feelings, or your past.
They are not a barrier to our shared connection, and to your healing.
Who do I work with?
At this stage of my career, I work primarily with highly motivated people who are ready and willing to experience lasting change, and to do what it takes to get there.
​
That being said, some of the greatest joy I have found in my professional work (probably in part because it relates to some of my own struggles at different times in my life) includes :
-
Working with men on finding their place in today's world
-
Working with families that are experiencing systemic issues within their family unit
-
Working with people around sex and in particular blockages to their fullest expression of their authentic sexual self
-
Working with people on the 'big' questions; God, spiritual connection, death, life purpose.
