We can assist with Individual issues, Pre-martial and Couples, Parenting or Family Problems.
Life is about relationships: Couples, Marriage, Families, Friends, Co-Workers. However, broken promises, lost love, abandonment, endless conflict, lack of trust, addictions, loss of intimacy, anger and avoidance all create fear, pain, rejection and loneliness. You feel disconnected and are in search of acceptance, belonging, comfort and safety. Using specialized methods of counseling, we can help you avoid misunderstandings, improve communication, heal past hurts, understand one another better and strengthen the relationships that make life important.

I am currently working with all ages of clients and enjoy every developmental stage of life, however I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I have a good deal of clinical experience in treating clients with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger issues. I've worked with many children whose parents are going through divorce or separation and the many issues which stem from such a family disruption. Another client population that I frequently see is gay and lesbian individuals of all ages.

Hello! It's a joy for me to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. Sometimes it's embarrassing to ask questions about what’s normal and what isn't -i.e., "Am I a bad parent because my child doesn't listen?" or "Is something wrong with me because my relationships keep failing?" I work to provide an open environment for my clients to both process these questions and find solutions. My ideal client values both their personal and loved ones’ mental health. It's an honor to come alongside adults and children with painful histories and increase healthy options for your future.

I am honored to work often with couples who are struggling in marriage or parenting, men and women dealing with depression, anxiety, or other difficult emotions, and young adults struggling with figuring out who they are and how to get what they want out of life.
Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! If you're reading this, you're probably considering making an appointment with someone. Life is too precious to spend it burdened by fear, anxiety, pain, or depression. It's too short to surrender to anger or toxic relationships. It really is possible have peace and joy! I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) and reach out. I am mindful of the courage it takes to deal with hard issues head-on, and that's why creating a warm, accepting, nonjudgmental environment is a top priority.

My primary focus in counseling is to meet people where they are, help them identify where they want to be, and enable them to accomplish their goals. I believe change is possible. I have witnessed my clients overcome and move forward after facing what seemed like insurmountable odds. Does it take work? Yes! But, is it worth it to become the individual (couple or parent) you want to be? Definitely!

We all crave a fulfilling life that is full of hope, connection, and meaning. Relationships with a spouse, partner, child, parent, siblings, roommates, and even co-workers are central to our emotional well-being. I have advanced training in EFT which focuses on creating connections. These close relationships often create a significant amount of stress, pain, and even loneliness, isolation and trauma. I also have advanced training in CPT trauma therapy to help people heal from trauma.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
