My Approach to Helping

Whether you’ve experienced it before or not, enjoying closeness is possible and protective. To figure life out alone is too much to expect. Trapped in our own mind, our beliefs become disconnected and we begin to make little sense. While many of us struggle with relationships, we want to make our relationships work, to make them healthier so that we are healthier, physically and emotionally.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’ve been curious about relationships throughout my life. I’ve wondered about what people said and what they meant. I've learned that if I understand myself, it will help me better understand the people around me. Gradually and gratefully, I’ve come to realize and trust that there are also certain people in my life who will help me figure things out with them. But, only if I’m curious out loud. That means I can gently ask "do you still love me?" or "when I didn't hear back from you about dinner, did that mean you already ate?" or "when you laughed, was it because you were noticing the emerging pimple growing from the tip of my nose?" After fifteen years as a therapist, and more recently, a student and proponent of the PACT model, I continue to increase my understanding of attachment and relationships. With my experience, knowledge, and special training, I'm passionate about therapy, listening closely, and bringing awareness and relationship skills to share with you.
