Is your world imploding? Betrayal shatters our worlds. Whether the betrayer or the betrayed, it destroys us! Betrayers face a sense of powerlessness, loneliness, and hopelessness: realizing they can never be really known or completely love another. And, the betrayed dazedly look at a million shattered pieces of the life they thought they knew and wonder if they can trust themselves or another again. Betrayal, fear, and grief traumatize us and become our constant companions. Shock often sets in. We feel isolated & alone. But real, lasting help is available. You don’t have to stay stuck in this frightening & paralyzing space.

There is HOPE!.
Assisting individuals, couples, parents and families with the challenges of life is a privilege and a passion!

This can cause a loss of connection and an increase in anxiety, anger and depression. However, learning to manage and improve relationships can bring about significant satisfaction, confidence and joy. We are also often faced with the anxiety and fear of transitions and unexpected life changes. I am here to help you navigate these challenges!

They may even identify with a belief that they are "broken" or "too sensitive". Many of my clients identify as high achievers, neurodivergent and/or highly gifted, athletes, creatives or parents. Many also hold identifies with marginalized groups as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC folx. Together we will listen to the story your body, symptoms, and/or behaviors are telling you so you can find your way back to yourself and restore connection.

The common misconception is that therapy is for "crazy" or "sick" people. Instead I believe it is a chance to work with clients on how to use their challenges as opportunities for change and growth. It is also a time to better understand our view of the world, examine any relationship issues, and become better versions of ourselves. I focus on each individual's unique characteristics, instead of what a diagnosis may say about them.

Does it seem like familiar feelings, thoughts, and cycles go on and on, despite your best efforts? These are common experiences and frustrating. They don't seem to enhance our lives or family. Together we will bring an understanding of what is coming up for you and why. We will develop helpful skills and approaches that increase your odds of experiencing your hopes for relationships worth having, and a life worth living.

If we decide to work together, one of my goals for our therapeutic relationship will be that you don't feel as though you are walking this journey alone.
There are times in our lives when we need someone to help us navigate through difficult journeys such as grief and loss, or a circumstance in our lives which we cannot face alone. Perhaps anxiety is rearing its head, or there's a sense of being alone at a time where we need help. I believe it's always better to have someone to walk through these difficult journeys with us.

I have experience treating mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and mood fluctuations.
Creating a safe space for individuals to thrive, grow, and find courage to tell their story, is what I believe my role to be as a counselor. Often times we run from our pain and avoid facing what has been hurting us all these years. It is my belief that counseling provides a neutral and compassionate environment to process through this pain, and finally discover the relief we have been looking for. My hope as your counselor is to help you develop a deeper awareness and personal insight so that you may live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

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.
