My goal in the counseling relationship is to provide hope, education, and compassionate insight to my clients, as they apply the tools required to improve their life and relationships.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a PhD resident in General Psychology, it is my privilege to walk alongside people who are suffering from relational trauma and interpersonal dysfunction. I am confident that there is freedom from chaotic cycles of brokenness, disconnection and pain. My therapeutic focus centers on severe relational trauma stemming from narcissistic abuse, substance abuse, sexual addiction and codependency. My clinical practice focuses on healing from relational trauma, high-conflict partnerships, hostile communication patterns and coparenting/divorce challenges.

Relationships are hard work. You desire to be the individual that you are, but also try to figure out how to overcome the changes that being in a relationship can bring. Not all relationships are created equal. I want to help you cultivate a healthy relationship (whatever that may look like for you) as well as encourage a healthy relationship with yourself. I desire to provide you with a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where you feel safe to discuss your difficulties. It will be an honor for me to accompany you on your journey of realizing your potential, whether it be individually or in your relationship.

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.
