YOU’RE HERE! You have taken the first step towards change, growth, and healing. While this first step may have been a scary one to take, you persevered, showed resilience, and chose YOU! Welcome to the journey of self-discovery and being purposely poised! My ultimate counseling goal is to help clients uncover their wants and desires, while helping them to establish boundaries, balance, and intentionality.

A goal of therapy is to achieve hope, happiness, and to have an optimistic outlook on the future as well as practicing self-love/care. Life can be unfair at times, and can include family disagreements, work problems and feelings of “I can’t do all this anymore” or “I am so overwhelmed.” I hope to help clients strengthen your coping skills, mindfulness, ways to move through life struggles and navigate relationships. Clients will enter into a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental and full of hope. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI).

As your therapist, I will help you to navigate through life's difficult times. Collaboratively, we will strategize to create a personal plan to overcome obstacles, develop positive coping skills, foster healthy relationships and more. To facilitate change within the lives of my clients, I utilize cognitive-behavioral, narrative, family systems, solution-focus therapies as well as motivational interviewing techniques.

Did your marriage or relationship start with a deep connection, being in love, exciting thoughts and hopes for the future, but you drifted apart and are longing for more? Has one or both of you started overworking, over-parenting, and being less available? Do you feel like roommates? Is there infidelity, anxiety, anger, or depression? Navigating marriage and intimate relationships can be a complex journey because they are shaped by our individual life experiences, our unique personalities, our hopes, desires, and expectations, which can sometimes clash, especially with time. But, this doesn’t mean you can’t turn things around.

Do you often feel weighed down by life’s ups and downs that affect all aspects of your life? Together, we will work on strategies to help you learn to manage your reactions so that they don’t interfere with your behavior, attitude, mood, and relationships with others. In addition, we can partner together to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful solutions.

Meaningful connection is essential for every human being to belong and to feel safe. When you start to lose this connection, you may start to feel the pull of your anxiety carrying you away in its wave of damaging and critical thoughts. You start to feel overcome with too many conflicting emotions that it becomes harder to make any decisions. You may even feel disconnected with your loved ones, where you can no longer communicate, and you start to believe that you are no longer compatible, while still hoping and longing to be close to one another. It is an exhausting push-pull cycle.
