I’ve seen many couples ranging from newly married to empty nesters, both struggling with the same thing — feeling like they are a million miles apart from the person they love. Resentment, anger, and frustration cloud your ability to see your partner clearly and remember why you chose each other in the first place! We then find ways to protect ourselves from the potential hurt or rejection from our partners. We shut down or lash out because we’ve run out of ways to say “I want to be close to you”. What else happens? Well, we end up pushing our partner away, creating even more distance and less safety. This is where I come in.

I rely upon my training and experience in behavioral health, addictions, trauma resolution, gestalt psychology and family systems to guide the strategies useful to people in creating solutions that work.
People seek counseling when situations either exceed their resources and/or when they're unsure of how to proceed. This is stressful and counseling is a safe place to talk about challenges and create solutions. It is a time to examine patterns of thinking or behavior connected to the discomfort or depression. The impact of traumatic experiences can not be underestimated, from the view of "It's not what's wrong with you, it's what happened to you.". My goal is to be that professional consultant who provides guidance and hope when people find themselves in times of discomfort.

Life can be challenging and the additional obstacles of change, strong emotions and a lack of a sense of control can make the challenge feel overwhelming. I partner with people to help them learn skills to overcome or manage these obstacles in order to feel a better sense of control and resilience. In 2009, I began my career working with adults struggling with addictions and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety with a family systems perspective.

Without exception, all people want contentment and happiness, yet often it is elusive.

I am trained and licensed as a Couple therapist, but also work with individuals on various life issues. Childhood trauma is one of my important areas of focus in sessions, so as to help clients remove psychological blocks. My desire is to create a space where each person can reach for his/her highest growth potential. Couples often seek therapy when their relationship is on its last leg, hoping that I might have "the magic wand". It is when both partners are invested in self-growth that therapy works its magic to help create a stronger couple.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
