I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds about concerns such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, career changes, trauma, loss and grief, and other mental health concerns.
Does it seem like life is sometimes a little overwhelming? That you don't always seem to have a handle on how to navigate the daily stressors and life changes? Do you struggle to make genuine connections with new people or just have nothing left in your gas tank at the end of each day to foster the relationships you do have? You aren't alone. And counseling is a great place to explore these feelings and find a new, more fulfilling path forward.

Get unstuck. Whether you need couples counseling or one-on-one for anxiety, make your time and money count. I see couples for premarital work and those in conflict. We are taught to be critical—to scan our environment for flaws and errors, to assign blame, and to exercise “critical thinking.” We look at our partners and think “If you would just stop (pick your behavior), then we would be so much better together!” Will staying stuck in this mindset serve the relationship you want, or the one you have? You choose. I have a lot of life experience that tells me you can choose differently.

Together, we can uncover your strengths and work to build the you and the relationship that you have always dreamt of.
Is your relationship not living up to its fullest potential? Are you having trouble connecting with your partner? You’re not failing. A relationship isn’t a failure because you’re having trouble connecting. You’re just simply having a difficult time understanding one another. The truth is that we won’t always understand each other, as we each have our own distinct personalities, wants, needs, and desires. Relationships, intimate and familial, are such beautiful and powerful things, but they also come with a lot of stress. It is my ultimate goal to help you, help you and yours.

Frustrated efforts to resolve relationship issues often cause people to call for a consultation.
I have had good success with working with the resolution of depression and anxiety with clients for over 35 years. I work with people who are trying to improve their marriage or reluctantly must decide another direction. Sometimes men are ambivalent about trusting therapy. While the national norm is that therapist caseloads are 70/30 % women more than men, my norm is an even split between men and women. Men do find they can make headway on stubborn relational or emotional issues. I also see adolescent boys as they make their transition into young manhood.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in effective change and have witnessed this firsthand - which is why I feel that the therapeutic relationship is a privilege.
Do you ever feel like you are putting on a happy face to get through the day, only to come home, emotionally drained, and just tired of faking it? Are you ready to take the next step but have spent so long feeling like a burden that speaking about your problems seems almost impossible? Starting therapy can be frightening and, for a lot of us, talking about our feelings doesn’t come easy. That's ok. (Seriously!) I want you to know that it's normal to feel nervous at first and that it is worth it to get your life back. Together, we will work towards helping you live a better life - however that may be defined for you.

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.
