Welcome to EMBER & ROOT, modern therapy + counseling, where we specialize in identifying and resolving the core issues of your daily struggles, whether that be in relationships, mood, dissociation, addiction or other issues. Regardless of the circumstances, navigating our way through life can feel immobilizing and unbearable at times. We all experience difficulty in overcoming life's challenges and the deep emotions we may carry with us. It takes incredible insight and courage to even notice how it all affects you, and to seek help; we find you remarkable for doing so.

"Shame cannot survive being spoken and being met with empathy" Brene Brown. My goal is to support your healing, to hold a sacred space that feels safe to you and where you no longer feel alone in your pain. I specialize in helping people with attachment / relationship wounding trauma , family disconnection/dysfunction, divorce, codependency, self-esteem, and relationship problems. If you struggle with fear of abandonment, unstable relationships and self-image I can help. If you struggle with not being good enough, chronic feelings of unworthiness, control, the need to be perfect and comparing yourself to others, then call me.

*Telehealth and in person appointments available* The current situations in the world can make us feel lonely, heartbroken, or like giving up. This can be a very hopeless and dark place for many of us. Feelings of sadness can create emotions that we can't see an end to, or way out of. You might not have anyone that you think will understand or "get it", so giving up or living in isolation is the easiest solution, however, there are positive ways to cope and find the light at the end of the tunnel. We all need a way to overcome the storms in our lives, and feel peaceful in order to live the best life we can.

As an AASECT certified sex and relationship therapist, I believe our sexuality, and our relationships with others are important contributors to our overall well-being. When we are out of sync with ourselves, or with the ones we love, we may experience anxiety, depression, fear, and shame. I provide a nurturing place where individuals and couples can learn to experience joy, curiosity, and acceptance of themselves, and with their significant others. I specialize in sexual challenges such as mismatched desire, low or absent desire, premature ejaculation, vaginismus, inability to achieve orgasm, and erotic injuries such as infidelity.

**Offering video/phone sessions for over a decade!** Relationship counseling is not about being broken, sick or wrong. It's about courage & moving forward. Maybe you fell in love with your partner, enjoyed heady days, but things changed. Maybe your relationship isn't what you want, you "can't seem to get it right", or you're afraid to take the next step. The "happily ever after" soured; however, you can have it better! Your love story can be far more interesting and fulfilling than any fairy tale. Maybe all you need is a little clarity & some skills. It is exciting to discover what makes a great relationship.

Are you sad, frustrated, feeling stuck, or stressed out? Are you unhappy in your relationships?

Life can be tough. We all have needs to connect with others and be seen for who we are, what we’ve been through, and how we can grow further. Maybe you’d like to find a better way to play the cards that life has dealt. As a therapist, I will journey with you as we sort through your strengths and challenges to find novel solutions. This may include facing difficult emotions, finding a way to tell someone you’re sorry (even if that someone is you), honing social skills, setting boundaries with loved ones or coworkers, or just balancing an already full and happy life.
