I have extensive training and decades of experience providing couples therapy. Whether you're in crisis or just need a tune-up, I can help. Infidelity, poor communication, lack of intimacy, living as roommates, recycling the same fights, and "I don't want to keep living this way" are some of the reasons people work with me. I'm a certified discernment counselor and help couples gain clarity about whether divorce or counseling is the best path. Weekend intensives are a good option for couples who want accelerated results. I also see individuals who need help with depression, anxiety, and parenting young adults who are struggling.

My belief in the therapeutic relationship as foundational for personal growth and change in individual psychotherapy motivates me to ensure a therapeutic environment that is both safe and validating. My style is collaborative and non-judgmental as I work in partnership with individuals to promote healing, foster strengths and move toward positive change.

Are you feeling emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner? Is communication not clear? Passion & intimacy gone within your relationship? Are you having some difficulty with your sexual behaviors, urges or desires? Unsure of your sexuality? Are you a therapist or professional helper? Feeling disconnected in a relationship can leave you feeling unloved, undesirable and alone. Having sexual issues can be embarrassing and alienating. Not being accepted due to your sexuality can be hurtful. My affirming and empathetic approach can help you gain a sense of normalcy, dig deeper and begin to make the changes you desire.

Is your life or relationship not looking the way you hoped it would? Chances are a series of events occurred, making it feel difficult to find your way forward. It probably feels like you’re swimming upstream, but the current is too strong, and you can’t catch your breath. You have reached a point where you realized something needs to change because navigating these challenges alone has been too difficult, especially when also experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, conflict, or dissatisfaction in your life.

I am trained in Imago, a couple-focused approach.
My ideal client(s) are those struggling with both trauma and relationships. Trauma can deeply impact how we relate to others, whether it be experiences from childhood that have persisted in creating struggles over the life course, or impactful instances in adulthood a person still struggles with. I am especially interested in people who struggle with attachment issues in relationships. The ideal client is one who is receptive to change, can take ownership of their life, and has the capacity for self-reflection. They would be interested in creating a more fulfilling life for them, based on the meanings the create in their own lives.
