Your relationship is almost perfect, except for one piece. You’ve lost your spark, or maybe it was never there. Sex and intimacy is a crucial piece in relationships with trust and vulnerability being the paramount foundation. This typically takes a lot of open and safe communication, which also may not be you and your partner’s strong suit. Maybe there’s some old wounds there. Or shame around sex has always been a part of growing up. Whichever it may be, let’s light that fire that brings us closer together again. I am here to help you unlock the full benefits of pleasure within yourself and your relationships.

When human beings experience traumatic events or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon to feel like their life is unraveling. My passion is to help bring hope and healing to those who's lives have endured a traumatic/stressful life experience. I help my clients, who include adults, elder adults and married couples, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can flourish in life. I approach all counseling from a Biblical worldview. Without a healthy vertical relationship with God, our horizontal relationships will struggle to be complete, whole, and safe.

Do you love someone that’s controlling, someone that exhibits narcissistic behaviors? It’s not easy being in a relationship that causes constant anxiety and depression, at times trauma and even PTSD. Quite simply, the sacrifices we’re willing to make can be substantial. And mostly, those sacrifices are worth it. But at times, the demands of our relationships can go too far. Our sense of purpose can be destroyed and the passion we once felt for things disappears. If that's you, take a deep breath; I know what you’re going through. I also know there’s a path for you to find your well-being and happiness again.

I'm committed to supporting people in creating a gentler and more flexible relationship with their body, food, and exercise, as well as those trying to make sense of the abundance of emotions that can come with perinatal experiences.
Are thoughts about food and body taking up so much space in your brain? Does your life feel like it’s getting smaller the more you try to control what you eat and how you look? Is the voice in your head on a constant loop of self-criticism and shame? Maybe you're struggling with the dizzying ups, downs, and demands of fertility challenges, pregnancy, or new parenthood, and you feel so lost and alone. It doesn’t have to be like that - You deserve a bigger life where you can find an anchor amid the chaos, whether you're navigating an eating disorder, body image concerns, or perinatal difficulties.

Life can feel so overwhelming sometimes – the biggest understatement, right? Maybe you feel like the Earth keeps spinning, but your world stopped somewhere along the way because of anxiety, depression, or even symptoms from your ADHD. Feeling paralyzed or stuck by the thoughts racing through your mind is exhausting and can even be debilitating. Maybe you’re a new mom, struggling to find the joy in your role as a mother to a new baby because the anxiety and/or depression makes it feel like you’re drowning in fear, searching for your next breath.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
