Therapy for the Hopeful Romantic!
Picking a therapist can feel like a guessing game. How do you know if Im the therapist for you? Because I have been helping my clients go from feeling like failures in their relationships to helping them make the changes necessary to find the love they always wanted. You see, I specialize in working with the people I call the Hopeful Romantics.
The Hopeful Romantic can be single or in an established relationship. The Hopeful Romantic is the person who keeps believing love, the way they want & need it, is out there to be had. You’ve dated, maybe even been married a time or two and even though you dread “starting over”, you still are open to love. Maybe you’re in an established relationship and you’re not sure what’s missing, but you’re not feeling fulfilled anymore, or life has brought on changes that you both adapted to differently and you need to re-establish the playing field. I can help you understand your romantic situation from a new perspective. Once that is established, we look at the behaviors that need to be changed or challenged and I’m with you every step of the way as you work towards the change you’re seeking.
Of course, I can still work with you if you’re anxious, depressed, drink too much, have ADHD, or can’t stand your mother, but I specialize in helping the Hopeful Romantics.

The Emotional GPS System for Navigating the Chaos in Your Life~
When you’re trying to make a change, you can feel like a ping pong ball. You start moving in one direction, but then something trips you up and you are boomeranging back to your starting point. Every time you get ahead, you feel defeated when that back-step happens. It can be overwhelming and can feel never-ending. You wonder, “Will it ever end?” and “Why can’t I just get to the finish line?”
I understand. Most therapists do – that’s sort of expected. But what I wanted to do was go deeper. I struggled with this myself in my own life, so I am passionate about what I’m going to share with you. It has come to be the way in which I have oriented my work with my clients for the past 2 decades. This framework can help you not only understand, but also literally, see the process of change. The push and pull you have experienced so many time before is right there, mapped out for you to see so that as you get closer to success, you will understand why it feels so emotionally heavy. We will use this map to help you overcome addictions, manage depressive episodes, calm anxieties, aid in trauma healing and have more satisfying relationships. You will get excited to make changes you’ve been putting off because you were afraid to fail……again.
Think of this as your emotional GPS system for navigating the chaos in your life!
