Are you and your partner finding yourselves entangled in a recurring cycle of blame or withdrawal? Perhaps the challenge lies in expressing vulnerability, fearing it may ignite conflict. Are you yearning to communicate your emotions and needs authentically, or are you navigating the delicate process of rebuilding trust after the trauma of an affair or other relational injury? In my 10-year experience as a Couples Therapist, I have witnessed the excruciating pain that can accompany feelings of abandonment or fear within a romantic partnership.

I believe that we all make sense of our lives based on our experiences and relationships. Often, the stories we tell ourselves (or have been told by others) about our worth, our capabilities, our potential, and/or our lovability, are unhelpful narratives that hold us back in our lives. Identifying these thoughts/belief systems and learning to dismantle them is of primary importance in living a more content and intentional life. My clients return to therapy with me because they see me as skillful ally and compassionate presence that helps them to identify and break down the barriers that keep them from living more fulfilling lives.

My belief is that every human being strives for and has the capacity to fulfill his or her own potential. It is my role to help them realize their potential and believe in themselves to pursue their potential to the fullest. My professional style is to use the late and great Carl Rogers' "person-centered therapy". This type of therapy diverges from the traditional model of the therapist as expert and moves instead toward a non-directive, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process.

I deeply value peoples' ability to be honest and kind to themselves so they can recognize when change is needed, but also forgive themselves for having struggled... because struggling is human. We all struggle, we all make mistakes, and we all have been in a place where we may not have presented as our best selves. Things in life can be difficult and we may lose sight of our importance and value in this life. I want you to know that I am here to remind you that you matter and that you are so much stronger than you realize or may give yourself credit for.

I am an Army Veteran, Martial artist, and Holistic Psychotherapist. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Counseling from PLNU and have experience working with adults suffering from complex psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, anxiety and much more. My time in the military allowed me to grow in many ways that contribute to who I am today. My service as an Army Airborne Infantryman also impacted me in ways I wasn’t prepared for, which sent me on a quest for answers and further self-development. In my search for understanding I found different ways to heal and grow which I utilize in therapy.
