What is keeping you from feeling fine right now?

​

Life presents us with many challenges. Sometimes we can feel overly handicapped by perceived flaws in ourselves.

We might be facing an inevitable life change or sudden crisis.

Or find ourselves having trouble finding or sustaining satisfying relationships and don't know why. Overuse of alcohol and other drugs may be impairing your life. Perhaps a romantic relationship or marriage is strained because of a recurring issue that just cannot be resolved.

 

First and foremost: you are not alone. Many people struggle with these same issues everyday. There is no need to suffer alone, you can heal.

​

I have always been interested and curious about people and relationships, and so I see it as a genuine privilege to spend time with people helping them become clearer on how they might best manage the challenges they face. Whether working with an individual, a couple, or a whole family, I am keen to understand the relationship context of my client’s problems. Seeing the bigger picture is an important pathway to becoming clearer on one's self.

 

My work is primarily guided by Bowen Family Systems Theory. In essence, this theory examines how humans interact and function within relationships. Therapeutically, it aims to help individuals enhance their ability to connect meaningfully with others while maintaining a strong sense of self. It focuses on empowering people to stay true to themselves, especially during times of pressure and stress. I coach clients to observe their behaviors and automatic responses to challenges. With increased clarity on the obstacles they face, clients can explore alternative paths that better align with their goals and desired self-identity.
