I offer strategic tools and templates to fulfill these goals by identifying problem sources and collaborating upon action steps for solutions

My work has been devoted to helping people work through relationship issues. Often clients enter therapy feeling lonely, depressed, or anxious. I hope to help clients feel comfortable with therapy and to begin to learn more about their early experiences, which may have led to negative thoughts and/or difficulty in relationships. I utilize EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) to help clients understand how their underlying feelings may result in behaviors which contribute to unsatisfying relationships. My ultimate goal is to help clients change negative patterns and find more comfort and closeness in their lives.

I believe one of the most important parts of the counseling process is to develop a trusting caring relationship. With this relationship, much can be gained from the counseling sessions. I have worked well with individuals and families who have emotional pain. For many clients, helping them understand what creates such emotional pain, gaining insights puts them on a path for a more fulfilling life. In my practice I work with individuals who have sadness, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, sexual challenges and sexual abuse. My mission in therapy is to respect each client, and walk with them at their healing pace, I believe if we walk together on this healing journey life will be better.

Connections are important, especially when it comes to your therapist. Whether this is your first time working with a therapist or you've been trying to find a therapist you connect with, you're already half way there! Sometimes talking to friends or family members just isn't enough, especially if the closest people in your life are the hardest to get along with/primary cause of your stress. Or perhaps you're not sure why you're stressed, anxious, depressed, having communication difficulties and need someone to help you untangle some things. What's for certain, is that unless you try something new, things will stay the same.

I get it. You've been wanting to make a change for a while, but it's exhausting just to think about taking on another thing. It's a chore just to manage all the day to day stuff of work and family and making everything run smoothly; much less eating healthy, going to the gym, working on relationships, AND going to regular therapy sessions! It's a spiral that's so easy to get lost in and it's hard to find a foothold to steady yourself and find a way out. Therapy CAN offer that foothold; some guidance to help figure out how to feel peaceful and content with your life, and have the energy to do things that make you feel fulfilled.

"I can’t believe I did it again! Why do I always do this to myself?" "OK, I decided to stop drinking, now what?" Or “ I just want my kid to talk to me. I have no idea what’s going on and I’m worried.” Sound familiar? Being stuck in a cycle you want to break can bring shame or guilt that you are not enough, or not doing enough. You want to learn how to live without numbing out, overcompensating, or burning out. Maybe you have gone to therapy before and it helped, but you feel you’re slipping. Now you want to do something different and step away from thought-focused work as you see it’s limitations to incorporate your whole self.
