Life can be complex and complicated. Situations can become an overwhelming entanglement of emotions, fears, hurts, etc.. Difficulties can stem from a life transition, traumatic event, relationship dynamic, a buildup of experiences, or a general dissatisfaction with life. Together we can better understand your patterns of thoughts and behaviors to discover and change those that no longer serve you. Replacing these with positive thoughts and habits will help you to experience a fuller, more satisfying life. I look forward to working with you on your journey.

We do not have the power to change our past or the immediate world around us, but we can have the power to make changes and take control within ourselves. Our views and beliefs are greatly impacted by our experiences in life. I strive to help clients process these experiences, find meaning within them, and navigate current and future paths.

Most of us humans have experienced trauma or simply too much stress. Thoughts, body sensations, and images/memories/dreams can cause more emotional and physical pain--and vice versa. To get rid of these unwanted things completely may be expected goals; but to diminish and manage them with less pain or tension is more realistic. To be understood by others, to feel more safe, to feel supported, to receive usable feedback and new ideas--these are goals I will surely help any client experience. Somatic Experiencing facilitates clients in moving forward, at their own pace, building more resilience self-acceptance and confidence.

I have worked with a myriad of different clients, and the thing I enjoy most is helping them to achieve their goals and live the life that they are striving for. We will work to identify your specific goals and them problem solve what skills you are lacking to achieve said goals. I enjoy working with clients going through major life transitions, along with addiction recovery and trauma survivors. My tag line, if you will, is "Broken Crayons Still Color". We are all recovering from various stressors and life circumstances, but amidst it all, there is always hope.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you felt prepared to deal with the stress of everyday life, traumatic experiences, or symptoms of depression and anxiety? It may seem like you have tried everything to take control back and don't know what else to do. You may feel like you struggle in every area of your life. It feels overwhelming, scary, lonely, and even hopeless at times.

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.
