Whether you're trying to navigate autism, ADHD, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, marital conflict, family dysfunction, or challenges unique to athletes, I invite you to join me.
As a mental health professional, wife, mother of three (including a child with autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), daughter, sister, and former athlete, I understand firsthand how mental health challenges can cause significant stress, affecting every aspect of your daily life and relationships. It can feel as if you're desperately searching for the final pieces to a puzzle, which can lead to wavering motivation, or navigating an unfamiliar maze without a clear endpoint in sight. You may feel isolated, as if the world doesn’t understand your struggles. It’s an ongoing battle, and at times, it can be exhausting.

If you are wrestling with relationship issues with others - marriage, parenting/co-parenting, divorce, infidelity, secrecy, blended family issues, emotional abuse or childhood trauma, or if you are wrestling with relational issues within yourself - shame, identity, self-harm, anxiety, and depression, call me.
Relationships provide a window to the heart of an individual like no other. Our closest relationships tend to reveal our most wounded places. Those hurts, if left unresolved, are carried forward and recast into our exiting patterns of relating. All our experiences, but most particularly our pain, become the filter through which we sift and construct our view of self, our approach to life, our capacity love and be loved, and our ability to trust.

Relationships are complicated. Our relationships can bring us great joy, but also great and lasting pain. Many of the burdens that we carry come from our relationships with others, both past and present. These relationships, then, need to be part of our emotional healing, whether or not other people participate in counseling. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I believe that we all have the ability to heal within our relationships and within ourselves. It is the goal of the counseling process, then, to empower us to heal and change in order to live more balanced and fulfilling lives.

I enjoy working with young adults seeking to transition into college or recently leaving college. This is a fun and interesting time in your life, and it might even be slightly scary or intimidating, and I want to be someone who can help walk you through the trenches of finding your next step. I am also a Certified Symbis Faciliator offering SYMBIS assessments to those who are considering marriage and would like some pre- marital direction or for those who are still young in their marriage and may simply need guidance in navigating these new waters. Marriage is marathon, not a sprint!

Specializing in pre/post- marital counseling, pre/post-divorce guidance for both couples and individuals, infidelity issues, sex therapy, life transitions, and women's health, I advocate for proactive interventions to help clients surmount current challenges.
Navigating marriage and relationships can pose significant challenges. I assist clients across various facets of their lives, including conflict management, financial concerns, commitment issues, sex therapy, communication problems, and navigating divorce. Even if your marriage seems strained, seeking professional guidance can provide you with the necessary tools to cultivate joy within your relationship. The prospect of divorce can leave one feeling directionless, without closure or support. I offer assistance in transitioning towards a brighter future, as there's always more to life beyond this single experience.

Marriage is messy and personal. Everyday it needs to be kneaded and remade like bread. It is a moving unseen entity that requires both partners to show up and give 110% even when it is hard. Sometimes, defensiveness, stonewalling, criticism, or contempt prevent us from getting our needs met in healthy ways.
