I currently offer telemedicine and office visits. I believe each person is unique and possesses the ability to discover his or her answers in an environment without judgment. My goal is to facilitate the path of discovery with each client while providing encouragement, hope, understanding, and education. I value the relationship between therapist and client and the ability to meet an individual where he or she is wanting to focus therapy. I am trained in trauma therapy (EMDR) and specialize in relationship issues, codependency, women's issues, anxiety, depression, chemical abuse and self-esteem.

I have experience working with individuals who have experienced addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.
I have experience working with a culturally diverse population of individuals. My clients range from age 6 to age 65. Most of my experience is working with children, teens, young adults, adults, and families. I believe the greatest success is to accompany the client on their journey and to be the guide to navigate through the challenges of life. I regard the client to be the expert in their lives and it is important for them to discuss their goals and their expectations. My clients who experience the greatest success are motivated and ready to work, open-minded, flexible, introspective, honest, and trusting.

I help people explore experiences from the past and present that contribute to low self-worth and develop compassion for the inner critic that is getting in the way of you having a better relationship with yourself and others.
Do you feel like you're failing or a fraud? Or no matter what you do, you feel like you're not doing 'enough' or "not good enough"? Do you find yourself more accepting of others mistakes or flaws, but not your own? Or find yourself angry and resenting others but aren't sure why? Do people tell you you're "too much" or "too sensitive"?

Stuck? Repeating the same non-helpful patterns? Change often begins when we feel really listened to and understood. Struggles get untangled as we tell our stories in a safe place. My approach is to give each client a safe and compassionate place to tell their story and look for new pathways together. Sometimes the hope of change seems almost impossible, but in more than a decade of private practice, I have seen so many couples and individuals restore their hope and find a healing path to a new way of living. I'd love to join you on that healing journey for a season. Come on in. I'm eager to hear your story.

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.
