My practice focuses on healing complex trauma, emotional immaturity, and navigating trauma when it shows up in your relationship.
Is your trauma making it difficult for you to feel stable in your life and relationships? Do you and your partner trigger each other's wounds and feel that it isn't safe to talk about difficult topics as they come up? Perhaps you know communication is difficult in your relationship but you still haven't uncovered the root issues. Trauma shatters us at the core of our being. It can feel so painful to watch the pain that someone inflicted on us destroy the things that matter most to us in life. Your pain doesn't have to rob you of joy and connection. It takes courage to heal, and I am here to support you through this healing process.

I offer contemplative and creative support for individuals and couples seeking independence, trauma processing, self-love, self-trust and growth.
I help individuals and couples find independence, clarity, joy & meaning. Many of my clients come to me wrestling with attachment wounds, boundaries, heartbreak, troubling communication & behavior patterns and issues of self-confidence. I work collaboratively with my clients to provide an accepting space to explore life experiences, habitual reactions, childhood pain and expectations of relationships. This process can often be uncomfortable, which makes trust and safety my priority. I work from the lenses of Narrative, Attachment-based, Acceptance & Commitment and Emotionally Focused therapies.

Gottman informs my treatment with couples and I focus on solutions and teaching concrete skills for coping with adults and teens.
My goal is to provide clients caring, concrete, and practical answers using proven-effective treatment options. I feel strongly that clients should be a collaborator in their treatment and see improvements quickly. Parents with children who have behavioral problems are often exhausted and at the end of their rope. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy provides quick solutions and reduces parental stress. Couples often seek therapy when communication is breaking down. Both PCIT and Gottman Method Therapy inform my work with couples and families.

I offer individual sessions, relationship sessions for all configurations, as well as ketamine therapy, to help you create lasting change.
Specializing in Psychedelic Ministry and Counseling. This is a different type of therapy, for the body, mind, and soul. Have you tried therapy before, only to find "just talking about things" doesn't seem to shift the anxiety, loneliness, pain, and relationship challenges you are trying to heal? Maybe you are tired of your routine – using the same strategies day after day to curb the feelings that lie just beneath the surface. Ignoring these signals can lead to a chronic disconnection from our body and mind as we grow older. When trauma and stress compound the issue, we may lose intimacy with our own feelings, wants, and desires.

If you'll have me, I'd love to be your partner on this journey.
I have been practicing therapy since 2016, and have developed a special focus on helping individuals suffering from anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), increasing self-esteem and confidence. In general, I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBT) in addition to my existential and psychodynamic foundation. This means we may spend time making meaning of past experiences but will mostly work on issues that are coming up in the present.

In general, I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Approach (CBT) in addition to my existential and psychodynamic foundation. This means we may spend time making meaning of past experiences but will mostly work on issues that are coming up in the present.
Specifically, I treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, issues related to spiritual growth, addiction recovery, co-dependency, relationship, and grief and loss.
I offer a dynamic approach to mental health care using holistic, body-mind integrated therapeutic techniques. I believe that often individuals need support to clear what's blocking our natural ability to navigate our lives from our own truth and that each of us have instinctive abilities to heal ourselves. I can partner with you to identify and activate your inner strengths and authentic self. I provide counseling in a safe environment and my clinical focus builds upon clients' existing strengths and aliveness. In office or video counseling available.

Whether learning healthy dating skills, premarital and couples/marriage, trying to get pregnant, recovering from an affair, or going through a divorce.
With warmth, humor, and honesty, I strive to create a time and place where you can feel supported in navigating the tough moments of life. As I’ve done this work over the last 17+ years I’ve learned that we can find joy and meaning, including in the hard things we pull away from. Relationships and emotions can feel confusing, scary, or painful. Sometimes our thoughts get overwhelming, we struggle with our emotions, and we try to hold onto control, all while feeling a bit lost. We can work collaboratively to help you get out of your head, learn to manage your feelings & boundaries, heal relationships, and create the life you want.

I specialize in couples therapy with a focus on emotional and sexual intimacy to help you create a safe enough emotional space to unwind assumptions and misconceptions about long-term intimacy.
Relationship habits with our intimate partners can create familiarity and easefulness—they can also inhibit a fresh and fulfilling way of being together. When relationship shortcuts create disconnection or even hurtful interactions, we feel misunderstood and not seen for our true hopes and intentions. I support you to slow down and connect in the present moment where the power resides to develop a whole-body intimacy with a partner. It is in the here and now where you can reawaken the creativity and integrity of your connection.

Within a trusting therapeutic relationship, I'll work with you to co-create a foundation which allows you to hone into your intuition, improve your relationships, decrease emotional suffering, and increase your overall joy.
Many of us are starving to discover the truth, to show the world who we really are, and we need to have our truth held with compassion. We all want to experience being fully seen.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
