An inconvenient truth; "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone". It is well documented that our worst fear is fear of the unknown. Many will live in the pain of the familiar for years before it hurts enough to wholeheartedly embrace the risk of change. It could be a relationship, job/school, personal/family history, trauma, alternative lifestyle, shame/guilt, substance use, mental health or a variety of other things. If you are in pain, something has to change. Therapy can help you identify what steps are necessary, then develop a plan for change. I will work with you at your pace, offering support in a non-judgmental way.

I also specialize in couples therapy and have completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level I and II training.
We all deserve to be seen, to be heard, and to be supported without the fear of judgement. I believe that our life is like a story- comprised of triumphs/hardships, gains/losses, love/pain and more. Often we start to tell ourselves stories about our experiences that can hold us back from reaching our goals and living our authentic lives. As a therapist, I aim to help clients deconstruct the story line that is not supportive to them, and instead start constructing ones for their preferred reality and identity. My foundational belief is that we are separate entities from our problems, and we have strength and resiliency inside us.

I work with Couples (premarital and married) using the Prepare-Enrich Curriculum.
Are you feeling stressed out, anxious or have an irritable mood that leads to anger? Does it seem like you are stuck, lost or unmotivated? Are you struggling with healing from a traumatic event, even from childhood? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years, but I’m so glad you have taken the courageous step of being here.

My counseling experiences includes working with children from ages 6 to adolescents, adults, couples, families, and veterans.
As a mental health therapist, I believe in empowering clients to become aware of their own healthy/unhealthy thinking and behavior so, in return, they can implement positive lifestyle changes. Collaboration between the client and myself is used to guide the client in redefining their own way of life. Clients should know that this sometimes can be a short or lengthy process but I am willing to walk all the way with them as they develop their new healthy self. Clients should know that they are never alone in this new journey...

I have worked with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, traumas, abuse, bipolar disorder (manic episodes), suicidal ideations etc.
Hi. I am a middle-aged married mother of one grown and one smaller child. Our next anniversary will be 10 years for us. We were both married before finding each other, so there is a history of blending families with children. I am a Christian and Jesus is the foundation of my life. Life can be quite challenging. Many times we are facing situations that we are not prepared for or have prior hurts that affect our ability to overcome. When we get into these places it is easy to feel stuck or even blind to what is really going on. It is easy to shut down and isolate out of fear of what others may think.

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.
