We all want to be seen and valued for who we are.

Sometimes, life experiences make us feel guarded, anxious, or unsafe in relationships. You may have learned patterns of relating in a way that is not true to yourself or meeting your emotional needs. Together, we’ll discover how you can accept yourself, value your needs, and connect authentically with others.

I love working with individuals who want to improve all types of relationships, both with others and within themselves. Three areas of focus are:

Intimate Relationships

You’re looking for support navigating a current relationship or creating a new healthy partnership, and may have challenges with:

• Setting healthy boundaries

• Getting dependable emotional support

• Fear of rejection

• Communicating your needs constructively

I enjoy working with people of all genders who want to be more secure and authentic in how they relate to intimate partners.

Family Relationships

You may seek to resolve challenges with:

• Your birth family. You are an adult striving for a better balance with parents, siblings, etc.

• Your chosen family. You seek healthy boundaries with friends, roommates, and community.

• Your children. You seek support while navigating the challenges of parenting adolescents and young adults.

We’ll explore the tension between your needs and those of the important people in your life. I’ll help you be more grounded and express needs clearly and confidently so that they will be heard. As you develop healthy boundaries, you’ll feel more relaxed, open and connected with people in your life.

Creative Relationships

Musicians, artists and other creatives seek relationships that nurture inspiration and the vulnerability that comes with creative expression. My long-time career as a musician and record producer has given me insight into the following issues:

• Navigating creative differences with respect and understanding

• Balancing practical needs with creative drive and passion

• Resolving insecurities that lead to creative blocks

We’ll delve into the emotional meaning of creativity in your life and how this affects your identity and relationships. You will learn to trust yourself more, remain grounded in your inspiration, and collaborate more openly.
