"I couldn't heal because I couldn't admit that I was hurt." This is a statement that I personally relate to, and find that it speaks to many first time clients. If you are someone (like me) who values strength, resiliency and a positive attitude you too might be finding it hard to admit the emotional pain of past traumas and their impact upon your daily functioning and relationships. Trusted relationships are the foundation for achieving personal goals and experiencing lasting emotional healing. The client-therapist relationship provides the privacy, objectivity, and intimacy to safely uncover the deepest parts of our being. Together we can explore ways to be more connected to ourselves and others as we seek to live life to the fullest.

I focus on helping people reconnect with their inner resources, community & innate wisdom, and become more aligned with the relationships they desire and the dreams they hope for. I work with people to help separate themselves from beliefs and stories that are causing them to suffer. Together we do this by gaining insight into conditions and ideas that are overpowering them, & preventing them from the life and relationships they would like. My work with couples focuses on the problems that are preventing couples from their preferred relationship & understanding how they get pulled into these habitual ways of relating. I use an integrative approach to therapy, based on people’s needs & personality. My approach is warm, creative and intuitive. My preference is to not use labels to describe people’s experiences, but rather look at the entirety of people’s contexts & encourage them to see how they can use their own strengths & resources to help them improve their suffering. My own life & 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry have given me an intimate understanding of the challenges that artistic professionals, couples & parents face. I also have first-hand experience of potential stressors that present themselves when living in a culture & country different from the one you grew up in.
