My MFT training has taught me to help people re-organize their relationships with people, habits and themselves to live happier lives.
There is a narrow margin between meeting the demands of our daily lives and becoming overwhelmed. As our lives require more and more of us, our resources of time, patience, and compassion can dwindle. If you are reading this because you are seeking help with rediscovering the person you want to be, I see you. I believe we are all doing our best. I also believe most of us come to a point in our lives when we realize the strategies we have learned aren't yielding the results in our lives we intended. My goal is for each person who leaves my office to understand themselves a little bit better and be a more authentic version of themself

Relationships are also a key part of being human.
Our journey through life comes complete with challenges. Sure we all have to face the facts of life, though we also have find our way through our own unique obstacles. All of this in a society where we are pulled in so many directions, where there are many expectations, demands and responsibilities, and often at a stressful pace with little time to stop, think, and rest. It's normal to struggle with all of this, whether it shows up internally as anxiety, depression, addiction and other issues, or just feeling lost and without meaning and purpose, it can be overwhelming to handle or to know where to start.

Once upon a time, I didn't know who I was, and that made me depressed, anxious and insecure. The problem was, I was also pretty functional. I could almost make it through this life - going to work, paying my bills, dining out. Thankfully, I lost my patience. If you're curious or confused or losing your patience, let's talk. I've earned my letters and have fancy theories, but I'm helpful because I've been there and then found a better way. (For the geeks out there, my way is ACT, Hakomi, Psychedelic Assisted and Buddhadharma).

Family life can feel like a complex journey of balancing needs, emotions, and growth. As parents navigate through children’s stages of development, some face unexpected challenges that test their resilience and resources. Over my years working with families, I’ve seen firsthand the unique obstacles parents encounter when supporting a child with behavioral struggles. Understanding these experiences offers invaluable insight into how families can thrive, even in the face of adversity. For some families, behaviors such as self-injury or negative thought loops in children may emerge, adding layers of stress, worry, and confusion.

I have been in practice for 15 years working with adults, couples, adolescents, and children facing a variety of issues including stress, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Panic Disorder, depression, relationship issues, gender transition, and phase of life issues.
My style is empowering, solution-focused, down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and humorous. I am active in session. You can expect me to help guide conversations, provide reflections, and teach coping skills. As a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Specialist, I incorporate this evidence-based model into my practice. CBT helps us become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, motives, and behaviors. Therapy helps us understand our “stories”; the experiences that shaped us, the defenses that have helped protect us, and the patterns or habits that may be preventing us from living a satisfying life.

I view therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to reach your goal(s). Together we will identify the problem(s) and figure out a solution. Sometimes skills and practice are needed to change the current way of doing things, and other times information or deeper self-exploration is helpful. I work with both long-term and short-term issues.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
