Life is challenging at times. Maintaining healthy relationships may feel the like the greatest challenge of all! Our relationships are influenced by our childhood, family, & life experiences. Relationships take work! They can be overwhelming with the intensity of different emotions we experience, and sometimes this leads to make choices that can be unhealthy for us. Isolation, infidelity, & substance use hold us back from having a fulfilling relationship with ourselves & with others. Through exploring our challenges, accepting who we are in this moment, & leaning into the opportunity for growth we can Embrace all life has to offer!

I work with highly motivated adults who are dealing with concerns including anxiety and depression, self-esteem and identity issues, life transitions, grief and loss, and relationship stress.
Maybe you've been listening to podcasts, been in masterclasses, and reading self-help books thinking about your emotions so much that you haven't been feeling them. Or maybe you feel as though you are experiencing your emotions "too much." Either way, if you could do this by yourself (whatever the "this" is for you), you would have done it by now! It takes strength and courage to start therapy, and I applaud you for exploring your options. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I offer resilience informed therapy for emotional wellness, mental health, and trauma recovery.

I have extensive experience in dealing with marital and couple's problems. As a survivor or child loss, I have particular expertise is working with bereaved parents.

There are many important reasons why people choose to pursue therapy, yet all are driven to accomplish lasting change and satisfaction in their lives. Every person starts from a different place. Some come suffering, unfulfilled, or anxious. Some yearn for a discovery of meaning, wholeness, or personal growth. Often, people seek to become free of old patterns, achieve closer and more satisfying relationships, or find ways to just get unstuck. Wherever they find themselves, I am dedicated to helping my clients get to the heart of what troubles them so they can be free to live richer, more satisfying lives.

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.
