Working through difficult experiences and emotions can be challenging. It can be even harder to make desired changes in ones life when certain patterns have been established for so long. I work hard to ensure that my clients feel safe and supported throughout this process. By creating a comfortable and lighthearted environment, individuals, families, and couples are able to gain some reprieve from the difficulties they are experiencing. This allows change to begin to occur in the lives of my clients.

I help those in dull, difficult, and conflicted relationships. It’s grueling for anyone considering ending a relationship because they have lost their passion for their partner, are eternally conflicted, or feeling weighed down in their relationship. You might be worried about how your kids will take the news, if you can financially recover, or even second-guessing if divorce is the right move. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist and I use the Gottman’s relationship research to help couples develop friendship, manage conflict, and create a meaningful relationship that lasts a lifetime.

If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, challenges in your relationships, painful life experiences, or grief and loss, please know that you don’t have to overcome these challenges alone.

Are you someone who appears to have everything under control, yet feels a sense of emptiness within? It’s not uncommon for high achievers to experience moments of confusion or isolation, even when life seems outwardly promising. You may excel at work and maintain a decent home life, but if you find yourself questioning your direction, feeling stagnation in your relationships, or battling persistent anxiety that hinders your motivation, know that you’re not alone. Seeking support from a psychologist can help you untangle these complex feelings, rediscover your sense of purpose, and foster deeper connections with yourself and others.

Therapy is about the connection between you and me. This is the beginning of a profound review of one's life that points to a future with less pain. My calling is to be in this process with you to better health. My speciality is Men. In today's culture they are often left behind; yet men struggle with: lack of purpose, sadness, anxiety, trying to figure out who they are-just like anyone else. James Hollis puts it this way…“Who Am I apart from my history and the roles I have played?” Perhaps you feel the dreams of youth have been derailed or are inconsistent with where you thought you’d be now. Let’s take a look.

Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. Therapy can provide the opportunity to disentangle and shed light on these aspects of yourself in a non-judgmental, supportive space. It is my joy and privilege to help clients experience relief from the emotional pain they carry, while also developing a deep understanding of themselves.
