Life presents many challenges, and navigating relationships adds complexity. I work with adult couples and individuals (ages 18-64) to address relationship conflicts, infidelity, or to strengthen healthy relationships. Whether improving communication or rebuilding trust, counseling is an invaluable resource. I also provide support for managing depression, anxiety, grief, and anger, as well as life's disruptions. My services focus on developing positive coping strategies, enhancing self-confidence, fostering positive thinking, and building skills in assertive communication.

Feeling lost and overwhelmed by all the decisions and choices you are faced with daily can be stressful and exhausting, and stress can be magnified by the constant changes everyone experiences. These changes in relationships, your roles in school or workplace, family situations, and demands from others can all make you feel anxious, depressed...helpless. The isolation and loneliness we experienced during the pandemic did not evaporate when the crisis was contained, and now we are forced to cope new stressors. Depression, anxiety, increased substance use have been noted. But help & healing are available .

You are the expert of you, and I am here to support you in being wholly YOU!

Do any of these statements sound familiar? "I feel like I'm going crazy!" "Life feels out of control!" "I'm a mess!" Sometimes life feels out of control and you may feel "crazy" or a "mess". Unloading the burden with a trusted person in a safe and confidential environment, knowing you aren't being judged, condemned or criticized can be freeing. Life can be hard! Some seasons are more difficult than others. My passion is to serve individuals, couples and families in a way that influences the whole family toward growth and health.

Sometimes, life gets in the way. But other times, we get in the way of it. I remember what it feels like to wonder if things would always be this way, or if things were like this for everyone else too. I still don't have that answer. But what I have now that I didn't have then is insight, motivation for change and accountability. Whether you are struggling with anxiety/depression, relationship issues, co-dependency, coping skills, personality or mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, or insert whatever feels right here, I want to help you encourage yourself to self-reflect with realistic and achievable expectations for your life today.

Life is about growth. A significant component of growth is changes unique to our life events. For children and adolescents, growth and development present challenges and difficulties. However, for neurodiverse children and adolescents (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, slow processors), these challenges may be more significant. Military veterans are another unique culture I support. Our warriors work hard to protect us and accomplish their missions with honor. When they return from deployments, they often suffer from chronic pain and the after-effects of trauma, and they can have a difficult time transitioning to civilian life.

My ideal client would be someone who is prepared to complete tasks that are agreed upon in-session between the client and the therapist. The client would complete these tasks, on their own, away from the session, and would review the results in the next weekly session. I believe that any change that is made in a client's life, even the tiniest, has the potential to be a positive force for overall change. These series of small changes can build momentum, session to session, that ultimately empowers the client to live the life that they want to live. I believe in the power of therapy to provide recovery for anyone who tries.
