  • Are you longing for a better quality of life?

  • Are you struggling with anxiety?

  • Are you getting in your own way with self-defeating patterns?

  • Are you hard on yourself?

  • Are you suffering from depressive symptoms?

  • Do you want to be more in touch with your emotions?

  • Do you long for more intimate and connected relationships?

I can help. You’re not alone in your struggle. There are ways to make it better. From a place of care and compassion for you and an understanding that life is short, I don’t take the scenic route in working with you.

I can help you work through your defense patterns that take a toll on you and your relationships, reduce your anxiety, and have better access to your true feelings, needs, and wants. Through our work together, we team up to clearly identify what’s most helpful to work on in your life and what you want to do differently to free yourself up from needless suffering and empower yourself to be free to live your best possible life.
