I will often weave together different modalities like DBT, CBT, Schema Therapy, and art to be responsive to what is revealed from the unconscious and help you bring it to light. If you're a seeker, whatever the struggles you are facing that have led you to search for help, I'm glad you're reaching out!

You are tired of navigating a world that was not designed for you. Maybe you’ve had some negative therapy experiences at the hands of those who are not affirming or informed. You’re ready to try again. My clients show remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Navigating a neurotypical world, transitioning into civilian life, or coping with the aftereffects of trauma can be isolating and make life harder than it needs to be. I greatly enjoy helping those who have experienced trauma, military/veterans, and ADHD & autistic adults. You are the expert on yourself – my job is to help you listen and trust your own inner voice.

Symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and marital/relational distress are the most common complaints that I work with.
Therapy is about connecting with another person in such a way that you feel understood and valued, while trusting that your best interest is being served. There are many different ways to achieve this goal. My approach centers on working with people to understand their unique values and beliefs, which ultimately guides their experiences, and developing goals and strategies together to work toward their desired outcome. By asking the question, "what does better look like?", you are already on your way.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
