Your relationship is precious and is worth taking the time to work on it.
Are you wondering how you’ve become so stuck in your relationship? Wondering where the love went? Wondering how someone so close feels so far away? We all experience distress in our relationships. It’s normal to have moments of disconnection. Therapy can be an effective way to build back the connection with your partner, improve communication, and get your relationship needs met.

I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy which focused on the attachment bond between the couple and how to build and strengthen the relationship.
My passion is helping people achieve healthy relationships that honor, strengthen, and validate the people in them. I enjoy helping young men and women to build significant and open relationships on their way through dating and engagement as well as working with them on tools to address the conflict in their marriage. Often times unchecked anxiety leads to depression and I have many effective tools for people who struggle in attending to their anxiety in an effective way. I work with addictions of all kinds in a non shaming, caring, effective, and healing way.

Are you an adult who is feeling stuck despite having good insight into your struggles? Have you identified your core issues in talk therapy, but struggle to make meaningful change? Do you have unhealed emotional wounds that are impacting you negatively today? Have you been told to use mindfulness techniques to ease symptoms, but haven’t found a practice that works for you or feels accessible? Are you grieving the loss of a person, relationship or identity? Are you seeking expressive, experiential approaches to healing?

If you are feeling the pain of a difficult relationship, unwanted behavior, or unwanted thoughts and emotions, I am confident that you will feel safe with me to share about your needs and talk about how we, together in the presence of a loving God, can work toward healing and growth.
Why would anyone choose to open up to a complete stranger about pain and difficulty that is intensely personal? We often keep our problems to ourselves - for lots of understandable reasons - until we hit a wall and, in the 11th hour of fleeting hope, the hurt propels us to reach out for help. I am no different; I’ve been there before, and my passion is meeting people in the hour of greatest need to offer help and hope. I would be honored to speak with you about working together for healing, growth, and transformation.

You're disappointed with your life, but you don’t know how to change things. You’re unsettled in your job, your relationship, or the way life is happening around you. Your career path has stalled, and you blame yourself for not setting professional boundaries. The relationship you’re in is low on connection and mismatched on priorities. Life must go on, but you feel stuck in the daily grind, high in stress and low in satisfaction. Feelings of guilt and shame weigh heavily on you, and you wonder if you’re the problem. An enormous sense of dread is ever present in your daily life, and you wish you could get rid of it.

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.
