I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples.
Coming to therapy takes courage. I find if I can be authentic, it allows my clients to feel that they can open up and do the same. This is where growth happens when you learn it is okay to be authentically you. My favorite phrase is “I can do hard things” because even when you are struggling you are capable of more than you think. It is my goal to help you see this, feel empowered, validated, and give you a safe place to process these “hard things”. I am committed to helping my clients reach their goals and provide the resources and tools necessary to get them there.

By building a trusting therapeutic relationship, I have worked with many individuals/ couples that have realized that they can live their lives with greater peace/happiness and reduce their loneliness, confusion, rapid thinking, shame/guilt, and worry by recognizing new coping skills, self-confidence, and developing new ways of perceiving their experiences.
I am a psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping others to navigate life's journey. I offer a judgment-free environment to overcome life's challenges and provide a haven for self-discovery. Through this process, my clients have recognized their ability to heal and gain a greater insight into self-empowerment. I specialize in overcoming trauma, parts therapy (IFS), relationships, anxiety, depression, and more with individuals/ couples in coordination with their PCP when needed. I have found that how we perceive ourselves is our reality, and, together, we can expand that perspective.

This work includes couples seeking increased intimacy, help with relational challenges or preparation for marriage.
Whatever brought you here, welcome. Often, people seek help because they have a sense that all is not well, even if they don’t have language to explain what they feel or why. I believe that honoring this knowing is one of the bravest things we can do and is an essential step in recovering a sense of well-being. I consider it a privilege to join with clients to explore the beliefs, hopes, fears, and struggles that are all part of what it means to be human. I draw from trauma-focused, relational, narrative, and mindfulness-based approaches, and prioritize creating a safe, compassionate, therapeutic relationship.

The relationship between you and your therapist is vital to building trust and helping you feel comfortable sharing your story so that you can better understand how past experiences impact your current life, and set you up for a more fulfilling future.
Life often contains unexpected and difficult challenges that lead to us grieving that life is not what we were hoping for or planned. These challenges can be situational or ongoing experiences. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a significant life transition, relational struggles, questions of identity, persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy, constant worries, or existential/spiritual doubts, we can be left feeling lost and unsure what to do next. When these occur it can be demoralizing and defeating, but also provide immense opportunity for growth. It is my goal to help each person navigate these times in life.

I believe a therapeutic relationship, skill building, targeted interventions and guided self-exploration can encourage individuals to access the strength and insight necessary to change negative scripts in their lives, overcome adversity, and thrive! I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey.
Today's society can be very overstimulating and can make it hard to focus on our inner experience of emotions. Sometimes we need an opportunity to slow down and process whether our feelings, thoughts and behaviors are helping or getting in the way of where we want to be as - as individuals and in relationship with others.

I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. I love helping people understand their issues and how to heal or deal with them.

I know that it takes courage to reach out for help and I would be honored to partner with you on your journey.
Do you feel anxious, sad, or stressed out from trying to navigate life on your own? Do you feel misunderstood, disconnected from loved ones, or stuck in patterns you feel powerless to change? Are you questioning aspects of your identity, striving to find a purpose, or deconstructing from beliefs which cause you internal conflict? If so, you have come to the right place. I believe that no question is inappropriate to ask, no issue is too challenging to face, and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. My goal is to create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or shame.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
