APSAT trained, I have helped many women and couples recover from the trauma of betrayal in their relationship.
Life can be complicated...marriage, children, extended families, work, and school. Then life happens within these units and it can really get messy...and stressful! But you don't have to figure it out alone. With a masters degree in Psychology and an emphasis in Life Coaching, I can help you navigate these often, overwhelming seasons of life. (A former secondary educator, I also work with teenagers.)

I specialize in treating couples, adolescents, and individuals struggling with relationship trauma, anxiety, depression, infidelity, and crisis management.
We all need to feel loved, cared for, supported, and like we matter. I am a firm believer in meeting my clients where they are in life. When these needs are not met, we feel anxious, depressed and hopeless. These feelings may spill into your relationships as well and become self-destructive. Every emotion you feel is valid, and my goal is for my clients and couples to feel empowered, worthy, and safe.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues take a toll on everyday life. They can lead to counter-productive coping strategies such as substance use (i.e., alcohol) and may even further complicate your interactions with others. While these concerns have become all too familiar in our society, the experience is uniquely personal. Symptoms vary widely from persistent stress and worry, mindless habits (i.e., endlessly scrolling the internet), trouble sleeping, lack of motivation, irritability, fatigue, and loss of interest. Fortunately, there is hope as these types of issues are treatable—change is possible.

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.
