My approach to counseling is to foster patient autonomy and encourge growth and resilience. We do not often have control over the circumstances we find ourselves in, but we can adjust our reactions to these experiences. I believe in the strength of the human spirit to overcome difficulties and forge a new path ahead. I strive to encourage others to utilize their strengths in the "re-writing" of their own narrative and to nuture self-worth, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

There was a time that I was so desperate to make my own marriage work that I went back to school to become a Marriage & Family Therapist. I, then, spent the next decade researching human connection. Not only did this research save my own marriage, I have now helped thousands of couples develop a connection that they didn't think was possible.

My hope is to meet with clients of all ages who find themselves scrambling for health and wholeness and whatever that means to them. I believe there is immense power in feeling safe and known and that our wounds and victories both impact our thought processes, relationships, emotions, and behaviors. In life transitions, relational difficulties, and personal struggles, I aim to be an agent of hope and compassion that moves clients towards greater awareness and confidence, and away from self-defeating processes of shame and feelings of unworthiness. As a result, the health of body, mind, soul, and relationships improves.

Often life can bring us down, make us anxious, cause distress or create confusion. Many times, we manage on our own or with friends or family. Sometimes life "overflows” and even with a support system it’s difficult to manage! Are you feeling that "overflowing" feeling? It's difficult to decide if the issue you are facing requires counseling, but reaching out and asking the question is the first step to making a positive change. I work with you to develop a strong relationship, build trust, and create lasting change in your life..

"I need something to change" is a great place to start. Counseling can be a place to facilitate this change. You may find that you are speaking one language while your spouse is speaking another. You can learn how to have a common language and corrective experiences that draw you closer together instead of further apart. Many of your wounds occurred in relationships, thus it is in relationships where they can be restored. I have served individuals and couples in a helping profession for nearly 30 years. You can find practical solutions as well as deep soul and relational change. Though not easy, real change is possible.
