Relationships tend to be the greatest source of both stress and joy in our lives. Whether you're enduring conflict in your marriage, with family, or children the disconnection can feel debilitating. Together we can explore the dynamics that are the source of that pain and, either as a couple or individual, breaking through the stagnation of painful conflict to find peace and connection. Specifically, with couples I appreciate and deeply understand the painful issues that are connected with sexual relationships and have tailored my education around incorporating that focus.
Many worry that going to counseling won't yield results, especially in what feels like unending brokenness, but healing is more than possible. Together we can discover the path to greater peace.
You don't have to feel stagnant and hopeless anymore. My primary focus is on helping my clients feel heard and accepted. I want to create a space where you can feel safe to work through the challenges you are currently facing with support and hope.

I work with clients who are struggling with their relationships or their sexuality, so they can have the space to explore the emotions and dynamics causing so much pain. So often my clients find their voice and abandon shame in order to pursue the life and love they need.
