APPROACH & MORE ABOUT ME

An Emotional Focused Therapist with attention on increasing aliveness in relationships with respect to the uniqueness of each individual. The focus of therapy is to help couples grow by building stronger bonds, while offering professional expertise and direction in a collaborative effort toward healing. Personal transformation is possible and allows for a more fully lived life. A guide to the authentic self, for family, couples, individuals, and children. “Love, the best medicine known to man."

"Attachment and autonomy are hand and hand not on different ends of the continuum.”Bowlby The science behind the research of secure love is profound. Sue Johnson is the creator of the most researched theory since Cognitive Behavior Therapy and reports couples are happier when they learn to reach for one another and be vulnerable.

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, rather than creating the perfect love." Couples can become so absorbed in emotion and are not aware of the underlying issues relationships. A third party can provide a safe space to reflect and invoke an environment where deeper connection becomes possible.
