That relationship can be with yourself, your significant other, your children, your family and even your work environment.
25 years of experience in private practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the ability to create a warm and safe environment for change. Would you like to make changes in your marriage, family, children or work environment? Sometimes it is helpful to ask what the problem is, rather than why it is a problem. If you know what the problem is, it can be more helpful to solve. We use that philosophy in Brief Therapy, which can be effective for busy, active families and marriages in crises.

I have experience working with a diverse group of individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and life transitions.
Welcome! My practice is based on the belief that life brings us many challenges and at times we can get stuck. Feeling stuck can cause us to feel uncomfortable symptoms - anxiety, depression, anger, etc. I believe that therapy is a process where you can gain tools to address those challenges, determine what needs to be changed, work towards making those changes while navigating all the thoughts, feelings and emotions that may come up in the process. I strive to provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients can work towards living a value-driven, meaningful life.

If your relationship feels in crisis or simply could use a check-up, I do my best to insure that everyone is heard, supported, and challenged to do the hard work necessary for positive change.
Are too many challenges piling up or does something from your past keep causing you to get in your own way? I can help sort through the noise and build a sense of competence to handle the future. You know your past and present best, but sometimes an extra set of eyes in a neutral space can help untie knots that prevent you from experiencing deep connection and contentment. I love helping individuals, couples, and families find their strength with empathy, bravery, and humor.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with relationship challenges and life transitions, which can lead to feelings of worry, self-criticism, sadness mental fogginess, numbness, or irritability.
You're likely sifting through therapist profiles because you feel lost, hopeless, or stuck – wanting to make a change or feel different, but not sure about how to do that, where to start, or if the kind of change you quietly wish for is possible. Maybe you are isolated and want someone to help you through an unexpected situation, or perhaps you've got a lot of support already, but want the perspective of someone who's separate from your life. It takes a lot of strength to honestly acknowledge your struggles and decide to turn inward to find a way out of them. I am honored to walk with you at whatever point you're at on this journey.

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.
