I am an Adlerian counselor, I believe that humans are social creatures who grow through relationships with other people; a fundamental aspect of a healthy person is a healthy relationship.
As a therapist, I believe my primary responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere within which clients can freely explore areas of their lives and selves which have not been working well. I believe in identifying client strengths and in supporting and building on those strengths. At at the same time, I work to help clients develop realistic and healthy alternatives to old habits which are interfering with their abilities to become the individuals they are meant to be and to achieve the goals they have set for their lives.

I have extensive experience working with clients struggling with complex PTSD, relationship issues, life event stressors, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles-and the symptoms that come with these-tend to impact so many aspects of our lives. It's when those symptoms go into overdrive that we begin to feel lost and isolated, and that ends up affecting how we are and how we act in the world. When our fears, secrets, and distress build up over time and we have no outlet to let them out and begin to face them, those feelings become overwhelming and eventually, leave us feeling isolated, fed up, anxious, and drained. You are not alone!

I help with sexual dysfunction, communication, infidelity, and a number of other issues that can affect the stability and longevity of a relationship.
A relationship seldom gets better on its own, but we often “hope” that it will. Don’t wait until you loose hope to seek relationship counseling, or counseling for any other issues you may be facing. The longer you wait, the more difficult each day can become. Self-help books often generalize, and medication often fails to deal with the cause of the imbalance. With counseling, I provide a personalized examination of your issues so that you may learn how to overcome them and create a life of relationships and experiences that you will greet with great enthusiasm.

I enjoy working with individuals that are wrestling to find peace from anxiety, secrets, or relationship difficulties.
You are tired of being someone you are not. Tired of pretending you have it all together so that others do not find out your secrets or shame. You tend to feel guilt, talk to yourself in a negative way, and struggle with insecurity. Relationships with family or others tend to be difficult which at times leads to anxiety and disconnecting from yourself or others. Sometimes you may think, “I don’t deserve ‘it’”. What you want most is some emotional relief. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to do just that. I meet you where you are without an agenda.

Anxiety, depression, conflict management and communication issues tend to be the results of clients applying ineffective solutions to the problems they're experiencing. I love to see the individual and/or couple who seriously desire healthy change in their lives and are willing to risk implementing different approaches to their problems.

I help couples work through relationship issues, sex therapy, and understand how past trauma is affecting your relationship.
You love your partner and don't want to end up divorced, but you're scared. Deep down you wonder, is this all there is? You are frustrated that you keep having the same fight. You wonder if things will ever get better. Maybe if you learned how to communicate, things would get better? But you do fine communicating with everyone else. How is it that your partner knows just how to push your buttons? You feel hurt and frustrated so quickly. You don't know how to tell them how much you miss them and long for that connection. There just doesn't seem to be much energy left for you or your relationship, including intimacy.

Throughout my career, I have experience in working with individuals and couples who have trauma, depression, anxiety, life stressors, relationship conflict, and spiritual crisis.
Are you tired of wearing a plastic smile pretending everything is okay? Are you a Chrisitan trying to resolve the disconnect between the promises you read about in the Bible and the reality of your life? My clients are individuals and couples who are beautiful people with a story of unresolved pain, unmet needs, heartache, worries, and skills that are not working for them. They are stuck in life. They are disillusioned with their relationships. They have big, uncomfortable emotions that seem to create destruction and chaos and they don’t know how to stop. Their faith in God is often failing them. Does this sound like you?

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.
