Are you having a challenging time in your life and can’t seem to work through it?

Having to go through any of these issues can be overwhelming when lacking a safe support system or appropriate coping tools.

"HELL is PROXIMITY without INTIMACY". If you are physically close to your partner, but feel like thousands of miles away, then you can certainly relate to this definition. I recognize that one of the HARDEST DECISIONS in your relationship IS TO DECIDE WHETHER TO GIVE UP OR TRY HARDER! If you are STUCK, counseling might help you get clarity. My passion is to bring couples emotionally closer, and to help them CONNECT again. I work with individuals and couples going through life transitions (i.e.birth of children) or difficult issues such as affairs, trust, jealousy, and communication issues.

Life can bring challenges that keep us from connecting to our authentic self.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, the CEO of a company, or a college student, anyone can find themselves in need of support. I can help by being present for you and by providing you with tools & resources to help you navigate your life.

Are you struggling with anxiety, a relationship problem, or emotional pain from a past experience? Maybe you are looking for help with the challenges of parenting your teenager or seeking help for an adolescent who is struggling.

Maybe you are ready for change, but struggling to take that first step. Wherever you are, I offer a safe and supportive space where we will work together to meet your goals.

When I think about what brings you here, I imagine there's something in your life causing you pain or overwhelm. I have found, both personally and professionally, that often when we're experiencing big emotions, we're sitting with them alone. It takes a great deal of courage to reach out and ask for help, and it's an honor and privilege for me to come alongside you as you seek to feel and heal.

Author and psychologist Alice Miller once wrote, “Consciously experiencing our legitimate emotions is liberating. Repressed emotion can be resolved as soon as it is felt, understood, and recognized as legitimate.” Dr. Miller’s words capture my work as a psychotherapist. It is my hope to help my patients legitimately experience their complex emotional worlds in order to cultivate a rich and meaningful life. Although this is no easy task, I offer my partnership on this journey toward relief and healing, both internally and interpersonally.

Our unique human existence presents many challenges that invite opportunities for deep learning, healing, and transformation. When we open ourselves up to the lessons of our adversity rather than avoiding them, we unlock doors of new possibilities and new ways of being in relationships, in the world, and in relationship with ourselves. While temporarily painful, engaging with life’s challenges in this way can ultimately develop deeper inner resiliency, authenticity, and renewed vitality. I will help you cultivate deeper alignment between your values and true desires, and how you can embody them authentically in your life.

You've accomplished a lot, but something just isn't working anymore. You might be seeking counseling because you feel stuck in a relationship, career, or creatively; want to build resiliency and coping; have difficult life changes and transitions; have questions about identity and values; want a better understanding of repeating patterns in your life. You are curious and motivated to understand yourself and you're ready to learn new ways of coping with life's challenges.

There's nothing quite like the security of close connections. When those connections are strained, so is your sense of safety. If you’re like many of us, the past several years of pandemic and political divisiveness shook up so much, we can’t see our world as we once did. “Being yourself” may feel like a tall order if it threatens your relationships. You need a space with another human being whose job it is to know and understand you from a place of curiosity and compassion. A space where you can question your beliefs and get clear on who you are without the fear of being condemned.

People are dynamic; we are always changing in relation to one another and to our own understanding of who we are. At times, we struggle to understand why we feel the way we do, or why we keep doing things that hold us back. Psychotherapy can uncover our emotions in a way that deepens our self-knowledge and leads to honesty, growth, relief, and positive change.

If you're seeking help for your relationship with your partner, considering making a long-term commitment, struggling to reignite the "spark" you once had, or feeling desperate to stop the constant arguments, I would like to help you get your relationship back on the right track! Many couples wait too long to seek out professional relationship help, and suffer the pain and sadness of being out-of-sync with their partner for far too long. Unfortunately, when the commitment level has bottomed out, relationships often pass the point of no return and simply cannot be salvaged. Don't wait until it's too late!
