I focus on couple/ relationship healing. I applaud this step you are taking of looking into improving your relationship with your partner------whatever the issue is that you are facing. Whether you're feeling stuck in a persistent pattern, in a relationship where you are struggling to find connection again, or you are moving through a transition; working with a caring, objective professional can help you find the outcome you desire. I regard client work as a journey toward healing in which the client has invited me to join them. I see my job as helping you achieve your goals by removing obstacles and moving to peace and balance.

Waitlist for new clients
I work with clients that are facing various issues including anxiety, anger management, relationship and family issues.
Therapy can help to decrease stress or anxiety, improve communication in relationships and make a positive shift in your overall well-being. If you are considering seeing a therapist, it can be difficult to know how to choose one. It makes a big difference to find someone that you feel comfortable talking to and feel that you can trust. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative effort. I strive to build on the strengths of my clients and help them to develop plans to achieve their goals.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential for change and encourage people to try multiple therapists until they feel someone is the right fit.
No availability currently (10/11/24 updated) (no evening/weekend availability - email contact preferred). I have been working with adults, adolescents and their families for the past ten years. Prior to that I worked for three years at an outpatient level with adults, family's and couples. I enjoy working with all types of clients and delving into family history as to what the root cause of the problem is and how to assist clients to come to a resolution of the origins of their problem and how it effects them today both personally and in their intimate relationships

For over ten years I have been helping people learn better ways to cope and work through feelings of anxiety, frustration and even numbness. My goal is not only to help people reduce these overwhelming feelings but also improve the important relationships in their lives. I feel that it is an important part of the healing process to help individuals communicate more effectively with the people in their lives. Through being better able to express themselves, my clients' stress and feelings of isolation are reduced and their self-empowerment and self-confidence grow.

Living during a time when we encounter unique struggles, the aftermath of a worldwide pandemic, and social media comparison, feelings of anxiety and depression can often leave us feeling stuck. However, when we take away the outside noise, return to our roots, and look closely at the beauty of nature around us, we can see evidence of hope. After all, even in the darkest and roughest soils, seeds can bloom into beauty. You, too, can heal, no matter your circumstances.

When my husband and I were having marital issues, we tried three therapists, none of whom helped us very much. In fact, over all, they made things worse. It occurred to me that I might be able to do this better. I wanted a therapist who wouldn’t take sides--someone who would work to understand my point of view as well as my husband’s point of view--someone who would be empathetic and compassionate. I wanted someone who would care about both of us, and, give us hope. These are among the reasons that I became a therapist.

My goal is to provide a stable, warm environment for general mental health support & those hoping to explore their existing patterns of behaviors while learning new skills & healthier ways to function. I believe that a person’s mental health is dependent on the many systems around them including family/friends, work, culture, etc. & that normal developmental changes & unplanned life transitions can strain our coping skills/supports. I approach each client as an individual & believe that everyone is the expert on their own life, so therapy goals/interventions are very collaborative.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
