"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving , we get stronger and more resilient" Steve Maraboli.

At Compass we understand that it is important for you to feel understood, heard and supported. When we all are working as a team, those things will be automatic. Our approach is direct yet very compassionate. Our goal is for us together to identify the cause of your issues, to develop what is needed and how it can be achieved.

You're successful, but something feels missing. You find yourself trapped in a cycle of conflict and negativity, both within yourself and with those around you. What you truly want is the calm confidence that always seems just out of reach, leaving you frustrated and exhausted. Now is the time for change! It’s time to unlock your potential and shape the life you envision. If you're here for your child or teen, you know how hard their struggles are, even when they can't express them. You both feel stuck, but change is possible.

Life transitions can be unsettling and isolating. My hope as a therapist is to support and empower my clients on their path towards healing.

If you are looking to transform yourself or your relationship and have healthier forms of communication, more intimate and emotional forms of connection and ,overall, improve your sense of self and relationships let your journey begin. With over 20 years of mental health experience and 14 years practicing therapy, I have learned to specialize in relationship/couples therapy and work as well as individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and other life and circumstantial issues.

I pride myself in offering nonjudgmental therapeutic services to help individuals, couples, and families overcome challenges and achieve positive mental health outcomes. I believe in creating a warm and structured space where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences. Through utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I am able to tailor my interventions to meet clients' specific needs and goals.

I am a PhD intern in Marriage and Family Therapy. I focus on attachment studies, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which I utilize in my work with individuals and couples. In my master’s degree, I focused on trauma and grief. I have over 12 years of experience working with clients who have experienced chronic and terminal illnesses, grief, and loss in the palliative and hospice care field. I also work with couples who experience emotional and sexual distress in their relationships.

I have extensive experience counseling married couples through a number of problems such as infidelity, conflict resolution, blended families, impact of early childhood trauma, and other issues. I integrate modern psychological techniques and therapies with Biblical values and concepts. Psychological techniques such as Solutions Focused Brief Therapy, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused, and Trauma Therapy are highly compatible with Biblical teaching. Couples are affirmed in their Biblical beliefs and encouraged to integrate them with modern psychological understandings.

I have an extensive professional history of working with families and couples in crisis. Many of us struggle in our relationships & find that clear communication is challenging for many reasons. The barriers may include issues with past trauma or failed attempts to find the right words during a conflict. I bring the structural therapy tools to help a family, couple, or individual recognize the triggers of their conflicts, explore past trauma & the impact it may have on the current relationship/situation, help the individual challenge automatic negative assumptions, & find a response which leads to clear communication.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling with addiction, trauma, or overwhelming life challenges and is seeking a path to healing that resonates with their unique needs. They may feel disconnected from their core values and long for a life that aligns with their authentic self. Their goals include finding inner peace, self-compassion, and a sustainable way to move forward, whether through a 12-Step program or another route that honors their personal journey.

Therapy is about relationships. Whether we are creating personal healing through the therapeutic relationship, changing the way we interact in romantic partnerships, at work, or with family, or shifting our relationship with trauma and other past wounds, we are creating a new space where empathy and compassion can grow. When you make the choice to begin work in therapy, it is a radical act of love, both for the self and for others, and you can expect our work together to reflect this. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but have particular connection to the LGBTQ+, polyam/CNM, kink, artistic, & neurodiverse communities.

I believe that problems often arise when people become stuck in negative thought patterns or interaction cycles. When individuals hold onto limiting narratives about themselves, these beliefs can become the root of various issues. My ideal client is someone who feels trapped by these patterns, whether in their personal life or relationships, and is eager to break free. They seek to transform these harmful cycles, aiming to achieve personal growth and stronger, healthier connections with others. Their goal is to reclaim their narrative, empowering themselves to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Life is a journey and can be very difficult to travel, especially when traveling alone and battling things like grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other forms of mental distress. As a marriage and family therapist, I am passionate about joining my clients in their journey to wellness. I believe in blending clinical theories with Biblical truths, as well as cultivating a safe, judgement-free environment for my clients.
