I believe all clients hold the key to their own success and can be guided to that end in a safe, trusting, honest environment. Building relationship and skills for growth, understanding and healing are among my goals in therapy. My personal journey through adoption, trauma, abuse, raising a child with mental health concerns, spiritual enlightenment, natural mental health, divorce, and remarriage have become the gifts I share though therapy. I believe the keys essential to reaching any goal lies within each of us believing in ourselves and knowing that someone also believes in us.

IN PERSON OR TELETHERAPY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE The times are changing and we all need resiliency to get through the current challenges. Stressors are at an all-time high level, leaving many people unprepared for the situations they are experiencing. Under stress, our behavior can fall back to our default settings that were shaped in our early childhood. These patterns may not serve us or our families well. Learning new skills can give us the tools to develop appropriate responses and forge new neuropathways that will enhance the way we connect with the people close to us. Happiness comes from secure connected relationships

Life often will throw us curve balls that we don’t expect, or things we never thought of having to deal with. In these times we tend to feel like we aren’t in control, we may feel alone, and not sure how to navigate through these times. So if you’re searching for an encouraging, non-judgmental, welcoming and comforting space to help guide you through these times, I look forward to walking along side of you in your journey.

Is your relationship in trouble? Are you stuck in a repetitive pattern of conflict that never seems to be resolved? Do you feel distant from your partner? Are you considering divorce? When things are not going well in a marriage, it is very common to feel distressed, frustrated, lonely, and hopeless. Communication breaks down, neither partner feels heard or supported, and the relationship becomes a source of pain rather than comfort. If this sounds all too familiar, you are not alone. I have helped many couples transform their troubled marriage into one that is happy, fulfilling, supportive, and fun.

You plan your life around your bathroom breaks, around where you can find safe places to go. You avoid pretty much anything that involves being away from home so long that you’ll need to use a public restroom. When you do try to go in public, you usually psych yourself out. Your world has gotten pretty small and you’re missing out on a lot of things you would enjoy, if it weren’t for the public bathroom factor. You’ve lived in shame and secrecy, feeling like an outsider, for years. You’ve tried to find help but no one seems to even know Paruresis is, let alone know how to treat it. You are at a breaking point and know you need help.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
