It is my passion to develop a genuine relationship with my clients where we can safely have difficult conversations and resolve conflicts.
I believe that therapy is about discovering your value system and learning to make decisions that align with your personal values. My passion is connecting with people who feel like their own voice has been lost in the noise around them.

The seasons of life can feel impossible to navigate alone. Sometimes it’s a lost feeling of disconnection from ourselves. Other times maybe it’s the grief of losing someone we love. Or perhaps it’s a relationship that fuels anxiety or distress. Whatever the reason, counseling is a space for us to explore and discover the tools you need to connect, heal, and grow in new ways. My framework in our work together is grounded in attachment science and the belief that connection to self and other is a basic tenant of human wellness. While leaning in can be terrifying, I'll be there every step of the way.

Life is hard. We are going too fast in too many directions, and we haven't had time to heal from things that are still hurting us. Divorce, peer issues, relationship problems, family dynamics, stress, and just being human is HARD. I have learned that what people often need is to tell their stories from a safe place and have someone truly hear them and see them. I want to honor your story. Life is messy. Let's talk.

Therapy with me starts with us getting to know each other and building a trusting relationship.
Do you feel stuck in the same unhelpful interactions in your relationships, or just generally feel disconnected from your loved ones, yourself, or God? Have you been experiencing tiring loops of anxiety or hurt? Maybe any or all of this built up in a way that feels overwhelming and hopeless to change? If so, I want you to hear that there is hope! And because you have found yourself here, my guess is that you too sense even the tiniest voice in you that says it can be different and you don't have to navigate this alone. I am here to meet your courageous step towards positive change and join you right where you are.

Therapy is a place where you can come as you are, process life's challenges, relationship struggles, seasons of doubt, feeling stuck or sad, anger, or maybe even ambivalence. In this space we can walk together through past trauma, areas of hurt or betrayal, and life transitions to pursue healing, restoration, and authenticity. Together we can notice attachment wounds and past events that may be continuing to shape your narrative and work toward interpersonal, inner growth and acceptance. Healing takes work and having support as you wade through those deep waters allows us to face fear and pain with bravery and create resilience.

If you seek growth and healing in your relationship with yourself and/or others and are looking for a counselor who will provide a safe space for you to process in a compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
You are constantly questioning yourself, relying on validation from other people to feel good enough. Sometimes, you don’t know who you are, and you find yourself thinking about others and their needs before your own. Your mind races with thoughts about what others might think of you or how they might react, which leaves you wondering, “Why do I feel this way? I’m just not enough.” You sense yourself shutting down with feelings of fear, anxiety, worry, and dread… It might be time to take the next steps to discover how you can more fully engage in your life and the lives of others with greater ease and with greater joy.

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.
