I am glad you found me. You are not alone, nor do not have to journey through this next chapter alone.

I am experienced and eager to help individuals and couples who want to make positive changes in their lives or cope with life stressors more effectively by use of cognitive-behavioral and problem-solving therapy and positive psychology. Therapy is intended to be goal-oriented and short-term. Couples are guided to regain intimate and personal connections they once had that may have been compromised by life stressors, infidelity, chronic or acute illness, parenting, age, sexual dysfunction, or simply growing apart. I aim to help people decrease distress, improve communication and problem solving, increase intimacy, and improve quality of life.

My experience has led me to work with a variety of different types of clients and challenges. Some of my professional specializations include substance use and damaging habits, challenges with infertility and pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress stemming from mental health challenges in a partner.

Offering sessions in-person and through telehealth. We sometimes will challenges that we sometimes can't understand. We began to think that there isn't any way that we are going to get through this, that we are going to be the same again, or that we would ever see the bright side to this adversity. I am here to say to you that while you are hurting today, worried today, depressed today, and feeling hopeless....... today doesn't have to define the rest of your life.

You're at a pivotal moment, ready to embrace change and chart a new path forward. You might be grappling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or relationship struggles.
