I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of courage and strength.

Are you feeling disconnected, lonely, angry, frustrated or resentful in your marriage? Do you find yourself stuck in the same argument over and over again? Perhaps tough conversations with your partner are a struggle, that only lead to more conflict, or even worse… silence and further disengagement. Let’s break these unhealthy patterns and negative emotional cycles together. Clients have reported that they enjoy working with my warm and compassionate personality combined with my direct and practical approach.

Hope, healing, wholeness. This is what we all want. But instead we sometimes feel despair, broken, and alone. We long to feel loved and understood. But often that doesn't happen. Something has gone wrong. Life is not what we had hoped. We are not who we want to be. Are you troubled by guilt, destructive behavior, discouragement or depression? Or perhaps it's marital problems, being a single adult, or adolescent issues. Maybe you struggle with a constant feeling of failure, the pain of sexual abuse, or the memory of bullying. There is help-and hope.

I provide services to individuals and families who are struggling with imbalance in their lives.

Our lives are full of challenges, change, hurts and unmet needs that we don't have to face alone.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have experience working with a variety of issues. I believe that change happens when an individual experiences the therapeutic relationship as safe and nonjudgmental. This allows individuals to develop a voice and be heard. I support my clients in accessing their innate motivation to change while assisting them in re-evaluating patterns of thought and behavior that inhibit personal growth. I have been trained in therapeutic practices that are shown to be effective in helping clients to reach their personal goals.

In a therapeutic setting, I strive to provide the space for clients to shed the external expectations of who they should be, and instead find the strength in who they truly are. For those who know exactly what they want to work through, to those who just sense that life does not feel comfortable, I am here to help explore life experiences and how they have shaped the behaviors and emotions in the person one has become. From there we can work together to clarify a brighter path forward.

If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, contact me, lets get started. I look forward to meeting you. Openings for new clients: Tues & Fri 9-5pm only.
