For the past 10 years, I’ve studied marriage, attachment and relationship dynamics.
Did your partner tell you to go to therapy? I help men and the conflict-avoidant transform their relationships. My clients feel so angry they could explode or so defeated they are shutting down completely. In relationships they often hear themselves saying things like: “I don’t know how it got here,” “Things weren’t perfect but I didn’t think it was this bad,” and “I’ve tried so hard but nothing seems to work.” Their inner messages often sound like: “I just feel numb,” “I get so afraid to do anything, whatever I do will be wrong,” and “I can never get it right, so I just give up and be quiet.”

I admire the courage that it takes to seek support and to start a new relationship with a therapist, and would be happy to hear from you!.
You're feeling stuck in a pattern of conflict and disconnection with the one that matters the most. You want to feel close and understood, but attempts to be close with your partner or to get your needs met often leads to disappointment or conflict. Identifying and sharing what you want and need in relationships can feel scary, so you're looking for help managing anxiety and finding the words to express yourself when it comes to what you need in your relationship. You may also have a traumatic event(s) that you know is holding you back. You're ready to process those events so you can heal.

The therapeutic relationship is at the heart of counseling.
Being a person can be hard! If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship or substance use issues, or any of the difficult feelings that come with being human, I want to help! When you learn to trust your own intuition, identify your needs, and define your boundaries, you are better able to advocate for yourself and create the life you want. I focus on helping each individual to make deep connections, uncover your inner strength and wisdom, and cultivate a meaningful, fulfilling life. At times, you may just need a little extra support wherever you're at, and I'll meet you there!

You are feeling lost in your relationship, career or as a parent. You long to feel less stuck and maybe even find your way back to happy again. You have a brain that will not shut off or quiet down. You hear a lot from others that you are too hard on yourself, but don't know how to change that, and then beat up on yourself more because you cannot. Whether it is one or several of the above, there is hope.

I enjoy talking through pregnancy issues, life transitions, work stresses, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.
Therapy is a lot of work. I’m here for the hard work though. I’m eager to accompany clients in the work and be a supportive listener all throughout. I believe that humans are capable of a lot, and even in the face of something big, small steps can be taken to make progress. In working many years at an abortion clinic, I realized that I enjoyed listening to and being an advocate for individuals in their pregnancy and major life decisions. I make an effort to not shy away from difficult conversations. I try to be straight forward and transparent in my approach.
