People often seek counseling when they're grappling with overwhelming emotions, stress, or a sense of uncertainty about the future. My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable, come as you are space that is free of judgment to talk through whatever challenges are impacting your life. My approach is client-centered and focuses on relationships to empower you to take steps toward the healing and growth that you desire. I trust you to be the expert in your life as we walk together toward achieving your goals. In my work, I use a blend of techniques from EFT, IFS, CBT, and mindfulness to best meet your needs.

Are you facing some big life changes and worried about what's coming next? Are you feeling lost, depressed, lonely or disconnected? Feeling overwhelmed by difficult thoughts, feelings or situations? Have you tried everything that you, your family or your well-meaning friends think will make things better but it’s just not working well or even working at all? Are you longing for some relief or even just some hope? If that's you, I'd love to help.

Today’s world moves fast, and as such it often requires us to move just as fast or get swept downstream. In these times we often doubt ourselves, our strengths, abilities, and our own innate power. Taking the first step for help when getting swept up is scary. Whether it is depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, identity or existential issues, or even career conflicts, I am here to help my clients navigate.

I’m a person in long term recovery. What that means to me is that I have been substance free since July 13th, 2016. My previous battles with depression, anxiety, and self-medicating turned substance use disorder gave me a perspective that has motivated a purpose within the counseling field. I believe the you must own your story, otherwise your story will own you. We will own it by looking at your past and reframing it into a more positivist perspective. The therapeutic relationship is a priority and ideally, we will become a collaborative team.

I believe that couples and family therapy can provide a uniquely powerful context for relational growth. Relate well to yourself - have a fair and meaningful connection with your anxiety, pain, and goals. Relate well to your partner, family, friends, and job - deepen bonds and communicate. We can relate well - let's collaborate on strengthening connections in your life!

Having someone to walk alongside you in your journey to psychological/emotional health can move you from surviving into thriving. Navigating life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times painful. Dealing with difficulties like life transitions, stress, managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or making seemingly impossibly difficult decisions, all the while trying to maintaining positive self-esteem and finding helpful ways to cope with life demands, is a really hard thing to do. Feeling close to the people we love can feel hard when we struggle to find the ability to be vulnerable in a tough world.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults and helping clients learn how to apply coping skills in day to day life, recognize how past events impact their present emotions, and improve their ability to have successful relationships. Whether this is adjusting to new roles in life, coping with overwhelming anxiety or enduring the stifling impact of traumatic experiences, there is all the aptitude needed to deal with these problems within the client. I can assist the client in developing and strengthening the skills needed to effectively manage their lives.

Sometimes you need a perspective adjustment from a new set of eyes. Are you unhappy with your relationship, yourself, or where you are in your life? As a Relationship and grief/trauma therapist with 25 years experience, I help you change relational/thinking/behavior patterns and take bold steps to bring greater satisfaction in romantic/other relationships and achieve your life vision. I see individuals/couples dealing with cycles of conflict, emotional disconnection, lack of emotional/physical intimacy, affairs/emotional betrayals, dating challenges, or to explore needs/love languages or traumatic loss from a mind/body approach.

Relationships are a tremendously important part of our lives. When they are going well, they are a great source of joy, comfort, and meaning. When they are not, they can be painful and consuming, and lead to depression, anxiety, and despair. I specialize in helping people with all kinds of relationship challenges, from healing after affairs, to deciding whether to stay in a marriage that seems to have lost its life force. Maybe you are in a business partnership with someone that you are having trouble relating to these days, or struggling to find new meaning after the kids are grown and gone. I can help you find some clarity

Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. Many of my clients present with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stressful life transitions and circumstances, perinatal mental health concerns, or they report feeling a little “off” and are seeking help to feel more like themselves again. I work best with clients who are engaged and motivated to see changes in their lives, and I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves.
