I will partner with you to journey with you towards your goals.
I prefer clients who are motivated and open-minded above all other qualities. I have experience working with people who have a number of varying challenges, such as trauma (all kinds), anxiety, depression, grief, family discord, communication challenges, transitions, and adjustments to significant changes. Most people have goals to feel better, to experience more joy and peace in their lives. Some have specific goals like completing a project, or test, remaining on task without anxiety, for example. Overall, anyone who seeks therapy desires help with some sort of change in their current moods, habits, or state of mind.

I have experience working with families/couples who experience relational conflict, divorce, remarriage, and who wanted to strengthen their relationship with each other and their child.
Let's face it, raising teenagers is hard. No one prepares you for the day to day emotional challenges that come with caring for your teen. I will also tell you a little secret, it's also hard being a teen. Adolescence is a time where teens are figuring out who they are, where they fit in, all while trying to balance raging hormones and the never ending pressure to be someone else. Whether you are the parent struggling to communicate better with your teen, or the teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, my hope is to provide a warm space where healing and restoration can begin.

HelloI'm a therapist with specialized training in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Adult ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorder, Trauma, and PTSD. I value a creative approach to wellness that honors safety, authenticity, and honesty. I think of starting therapy like you're cleaning out a closet that you've been storing things in for years. You've been putting things in there for so long that perhaps you've forgotten what was even in there. Together we'll sort through clutter, deciding what you need, getting rid of what you don't, and building structures to organize the parts of life that need organizing.

Research shows that the best predictor of client success is the therapeutic relationship, so please reach out to me below to schedule a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit!.
My work is grounded in the belief that the human spirit has the innate ability to heal if offered compassion, empathy, and support. Creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable enough to be open and vulnerable is of utmost importance to me. Building trust and establishing rapport will be done over time, through intentional question-asking and validation. I use a multi-modal approach and pull from attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and somatic techniques in my work with clients. Utilizing EMDR to reprocess negative thoughts about self into positive thoughts is a powerful intervention I love using with clients.

The cheating is no longer a secret - you both know, and it feels like nothing will ever be the same. It’s either therapy or a divorce. You feel like you’re drowning, but everybody else in your life is biased, so it’s hard to turn to them for advice. You each are feeling a roller coaster of emotions: you hate them, you love them, you’re ready to walk out the door this second, you’d do anything to save this relationship…all within five minutes. You don’t know how to make sense of all these feelings, but you need to make sure you make the right decision. You're not quite ready to give up on this relationship yet, but you need help.

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.
