Finding a counselor and beginning the therapy process can be daunting and difficult. I aim to work collaboratively with my clients, allowing and empowering them to voice wants and needs throughout the therapy process.

In my practice I work with two groups of people, couples and Men/Adolescent Boys. When working with couples we focus on building trust and safety while exploring past hurts, marital conflict, parenting struggles, resentment, affairs and addiction. I also enjoy working with couples who are newly approaching marriage with pre-marital counseling. When working with Men/Adolescent boys we explore grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety relationships, betrayal, depression, ADD/ADHD, personal failure, divorce, sexual struggles, infidelity, pornography, drugs and alcohol addiction.

I work with a variety of clients struggling with addiction, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, conflict, grief/loss and challenges related to life stages. I am passionate about helping clients gain freedom from being stuck in unhealthy patterns.

I believe in the healing power of safe relationships. I believe this because I have experienced being healed through therapeutic relationships. So many of us face the daily pain of being wounded by others, losing people we love, divorce, hating ourselves, feeling ashamed, alone, confused, or numb. We go to great lengths to manage the pain or anxiety we experience and often make wrecks of our lives and those around us. It is my desire to come along side hurting people and foster lasting growth and change. If you can relate to this, Welcome!
