My passion and speciality are to help you recapture your dream for a great marriage. When most couples get married, they aspire to an amazing future together. The reality far too often is they lie awake mourning a dying dream-fearing what the future may hold. As a marriage counselor who is Gottman Level 3 trained, I harness my expertise to fight for your marriage. To best serve my clients, I limit my practice to only 15 couples a week-all of whom are serious about working on their relationship. If you are ready to make a change, you are ready to seek my specialized help.

First and foremost, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I see the strength it took for you to take this step in asking for help. I work with clients ages 3 and up to navigate many life challenges - whether that is reprocessing past trauma, struggling in relationships, infertility/perinatal struggles, or navigating the day to day stressors of life. Being a member of the military/veteran community, I am also passionate about working with military/veterans and their family members on the unique challenges they face in their day to day life. I hope to help each person rewrite their story into something they can be proud of.

I have a person-centered, relational, and eclectic style for counseling and believe building rapport and trust is the cornerstone for getting to some of the tougher issues. I try to give clients something they can take with them after a session (like a certain coping technique to practice), especially in the beginning when things can feel overwhelming. Once my clients are comfortable, I utilize tools such as practicing emotional regulation, role playing, etc. and integrating other techniques like art, ego state, EMDR-whatever the client needs most at that time.

It is no secret that mental distress can be a devastating roadblock in life. It is my hope that together, we can create a completely safe and understanding environment in which we can work together toward achieving balance, implementing healthy coping strategies, and navigating life’s many obstacles toward growth.

Through life's significant events and transitions, navigating these undercurrents can be challenging. A compassionate listening ear can be a powerful tool on this journey. I believe that each person's journey is unique, deserving of understanding, compassion, and support.

I have 30 years of experience working with adults, and adolescents. The last 20 I have enjoyed working in private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and families addressing a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, adoption, sexual orientation, and pornography addiction just to name a few. I believe 50% of therapy is in the relationship with your therapist. I'd be happy to talk to you on the phone or meet with you for an initial appointment to help you determine if I am a good fit for you.

Have you experienced the heartache of disconnect in your relationship or marriage? Are you facing recurring conflicts, lack of communication, or feelings of isolation with your partner? Perhaps past traumas from previous relationships still echo in your present, manifesting as anxiety, trust issues, or emotional turmoil. These feelings may leave you questioning your relationship’s worth and struggling to find happiness. Traumatic experiences in romantic relationships often involve betrayal, manipulation, or emotional neglect, impacting your sense of self and ability to connect. Recognizing these patterns is the first step.

As a former manager, trainer, and substitute teacher I have been able to work in many capacities. Now, my hope as a counselor is to guide clients on their journey through their difficulties as they discover autonomy, empowerment, and self-determination. I want to meet each client where they are in the present moment and explore individual needs as we build necessary skills for the future. Every person we meet is unique, and I believe understanding the “whole” of the individual is a key to exploring and cultivating authenticity. Building a foundation of self-compassion and kindness to oneself is a wonderful place to begin.

In a world where we lack so much control, regaining our sense of self is so important. My goal is to help individuals learn about their mental health and start to take the necessary steps to improve their quality of life. I believe a person cannot truly begin to grow unless they are able to connect with their therapist and understand how their mental health concerns affect their lives. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2020 with a focus on Children, Youth, and Family Services.
