Trouble in your marriage? Feeling down or depressed? Having unpleasant thoughts or urges? You might be reaching out to a therapist for a variety of reasons.

>>>A COUPLES THERAPY EXPERT FOR OVER A DECADE<<< Many relationship challenges develop in the context of other relationships that simply perpetuate ineffective patterns.

***Please note I am not currently accepting clients for therapy.*** Is your child or adolescent having difficulties with their behavior at home or school, experiencing changes in mood, or struggling with their relationships? Does your child have a developmental disorder or intellectual disability and need help navigating social situations or life transitions? Are you an adult that is facing challenging circumstances and in need of solutions to make daily life less stressful?

I am a small in-home practice and work primarily with couples, individuals, adolescents and teens. Depending on your needs, which will be determined during the phone consultation, I offer a combination of traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health with an emphasis on the mind, body, and spirit, to achieve exciting, meaningful, and sustainable results. My current clients have been with me for several years and I welcome the opportunity to establish more therapeutic relationships if you are willing to take the journey. NOTE: Currently, I am limited to online sessions.

Do you often feel like people don't hear you? Sometimes we feel isolated and unable to discuss our feelings or concerns with those around us because we feel rejected, dismissed, and not taken seriously. If it happens enough, you've probably learned to keep to yourself or seek help in places that continue to hurt you. Emotional repression can be extremely damaging to an individual, couple and family. When working with me, you can expect to have a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment. In my eyes, your voice is important and I want you to feel heard.

**NOW ACCEPTING CIGNA INSURANCE** Struggling with trauma or loss of any kind can become debilitating and can lead to isolation, anxiety, anger, and depression. The physical and mental struggle can take its toll and we can begin to feel lost and disconnected from friends and family. Whether it is you alone, your children, or an entire family system struggling, there is hope. My passion is to help hurting people, and my mission is to help people reconnect with their strength and courage to heal. Let's walk through this together.

Most physical injuries heal and become painless in time. Emotional scars, on the other hand, can run deep and continue to show up in ways you cannot understand and are not prepared to handle. Depression, worry, fatigue, anxiety, relationship issues, and addiction are just some of the many ways deep hurts can continue to haunt you. In some cases, the fallout can be life-altering and debilitating. Like anything worthwhile, it can be a complicated and difficult process to figure it all out. My approach to counseling does not rely on any one "model" or a simple textbook formula.

The decision to seek therapy is one of great significance, and for many, it can be scary. It is my goal to help my clients have a comfortable and successful experience. I enjoy working with a diverse client population (re: age, race/ethnicity, and need/presenting problem). If you are unhappy with your current situation, whatever the cause, therapy can be the missing piece needed for resolution. Ideally, clients enter into therapy ready for change. However, this is not always the case, and that's ok! I also often work with clients who are uncertain, and need a bit more support to find clarity and be ready to move into action.

**Telehealth only. At this time my practice is limited to patients that have been seen in office within the past 18 months. However, I have three wonderful colleagues working in my office who are accepting new patients.** I believe that human beings have an incredible capacity to adapt to extremely difficult situations, but sometimes old coping strategies do not work in new situations. This is particularly true with adults suffering from symptoms related to childhood trauma, and those who have had to "mask" due to neurodivergent experience. Using evidenced based treatment, I work with adults and couples to create their best lives.
