It is my belief there is no crisis or concern too insurmountable or insignificant where the presence of a supportive therapeutic relationship cannot be beneficial. Seeking counseling is the first step on the path toward gaining insight, meaning and healing. I support clients in understanding and shifting emotions, thoughts and behaviors that may be causing suffering and impairing healthy functioning. I am humbled to walk alongside you on your path to healing. I counsel adults who have struggles with relationships, depression, anxiety, alcohol or drugs, communication, life transitions, family dynamics, anger, stress, and trauma.

I see individuals, couples, & families. Couples seeking therapy often experience overwhelming emotions, avoidance of emotions, feeling dismissed, feeling inadequate and misunderstood. There are also times when couples begin to question the relationship when there’s an increase in disagreements, walking away, silent treatments, infidelity, betrayals, and ineffective communication. These concerns in the relationship/marriage lead to issues including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, as well as infidelity. You want this to work, or you want things to change.
