I’ve been working as a child & family therapist at least 10 years dealing with trauma and addiction. From there I branched out to work with adults. As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am passionate about healing and growth. I can work closely with you to provide a safe and confidential space for renewing and rewiring our brain. Are you struggling as a couple? We often overcompensate in our relationships often due to ignoring past hurts and fears, repeating the same patterns without even realizing it because it’s so familiar. And what we resist persists. Let’s work together to peel these layers to the beautiful real you.

The stories of our lives have a tremendous impact on who we are as people, and how we feel. As a narrative-based therapist, it is my privilege to be invited to witness your story and be part of the change that you are seeking. With training in marriage and family therapy comes a unique understanding of how relational experiences, how you grow up, communities, and society as a whole can impact how each person interacts with and understands the world around them. I operate from a neurodivergent affirming and trauma-informed style, and seek to offer a compassionate and understanding atmosphere while inviting you to challenge yourself.

I recognize the vulnerability, commitment and courage it takes to properly heal, and how intimidating it might feel to entrust an “outsider” with details of your life. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety and stress, or need to get over guilt and shame. Perhaps, you are a couple wanting to discover more deeply yourself and partner before marriage, or a couple in need of a “couples checkup,” to maintain a healthy relationship. Perhaps, you need help traversing infidelity, separation, divorce, custody issues, or other life transitions. We all need connection and at times, maybe just a little more support. When you're ready, let's talk.

I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works to alleviate distress troubling individuals and their relationships when needed.
As a therapist, I believe that you already possess the tools needed to live a life of fulfillment, balance, and desired outcomes. However, sometimes due to a variety of reasons, we can become disempowered, afraid, or confused on how to utilize those tools in their entirety. Being able to recognize that those negative feelings are present is a great first step to tackling any issues you may face. I encourage clients to reach inside and rediscover those mental and emotional tools while also aiding them in discovering new tools that can help to improve their relationship with themselves and others.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
