In my work with couples, I help partners enhance or mend a relationship by being attuned to one another and re-establishing an emotional connection.
A counselor's technical skills are only as important as his or her ability to connect with you, otherwise personal growth in therapy may be limited. Establishing a balanced, trusting, supportive, and safe relationship with you is a paramount aspiration within my counseling framework. It is my mission to provide you with empathic counseling support by not only using research-based and proven interventions, but also with my ability to foster a supportive and nurturing therapeutic alliance. I provide comprehensive therapy for couples, individuals, adolescents, and families utilizing a client centered, emotionally-focused approach.

I am determined to be authentic because I believe healing happens when safety is present, authenticity in the therapeutic relationship invites safety.

Many of my clients' struggle with interpersonal relationship dynamics, as well as having experienced abandonment, rejection, painful relationships, and various forms of abuse.

It is my passion to assist you in identifying, navigating, and dealing with the factors in your life that may be causing anxiety, depression, emotional pain, and relationship issues.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” - Georges Seurat Pointillism is the art of creating a picture out of hundreds, thousands, or even millions of small dots. We as humans are like a pointillism picture, but rather than paint or colored pencil, our dots are made up of family, friends, school, work, beliefs, cultures, personality, preferences, and so much more. Every dot that makes up your life is important for positive change and growth.

Dealing with trauma, anxiety, and depression damages our relationship with our own bodies and our communities.
None of us are able to escape transition. Our relationships change, our families change, our environments change, and our bodies change. Whether the change we experience is welcome, abrupt, devastating, or a mix of many feelings, we must leave the familiar when it comes. Growth happens when we walk forward and integrate our new awareness and adapt to the new era that we are entering. Sometimes this growth needs more support than we anticipate. Flourishing is possible, but we can feel stuck in our journey to get to it.

Life can hit us with challenges, whether they come in the form of unexpected change, unwelcome events, or damage to an important relationship … maybe even the relationship with yourself. During the most difficult days of my own life, key individuals offered me life-giving support, teaching me that I wasn’t the problem – it was the way I chose to cope with it that required the attention. That shift in my thinking opened a path to healing and greater wholeness. It is now my privilege and honor to provide a safe, respectful space where people are fully accepted as they are.
