When I say life is HARD, no kidding! You wake up, too tired to get out of bed after not sleeping due to racing thoughts. You look in the mirror disgusted at what you see. Kids on the bus are mean to you. You hate the job you're in. You feel like you have no purpose. You may be thinking "why should I care?" and later it turns into "I dont care." You feel like you're a burden to friends and family. You wonder why your child is angry all the time, struggling in school or having meltdowns at home. You want to be accepted for who you are. You want the pain to go away. I'm telling you, life is rough, but doesn't have to be for long.

Additionally, I help couples identify and work through communication struggles through teaching emotional attunement and validation. I work with couples to overcome hardships & work towards creating an environment where each of you feel heard, validated, & understood.

Are you experiencing fear, anxiety, panic, depression, and/or hopelessness? Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or a lack of motivation? I'm here to help! I strive to be the "ideal" therapist for each client. Every client presents with different problems, different goals, and different motivators. Therefore, it is my job as the therapist to meet each client where they are at and provide them with the services they need and deserve. The one thing that I believe all clients have in common is the desire to take action that will promote them to a higher level of functioning in their every day life.

I work with clients who feel disconnected from others, themselves or life. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, including anxiety caused by trauma, whether it happened recently, in your far past, or both. Psychotherapy starts with the personal connection, so the first step is finding the therapist that is right for you. Once that is achieved, therapy can become a collaborative effort of determining goals, obstacles to reaching those goals, and the best paths forward. Ultimately, finding a therapist that you connect with is the biggest predictor of growth in therapy.

Though I have specific training in relationship issues (such as marriage, pre-marriage, same-sex unions, parenting, infidelity, and in-law issues), I also work a great deal with individuals. I offer specific forgiveness training that has proven extremely helpful in healing grievances and resentments; and am trained in the use of EMDR. When motivated, there is no limit to the potential for improved relationships, personal fulfillment, and peace. In work with couples, I see great improvement when there is deep motivation. And it is part of my job to foster, and nurture that motivation in each partner.
