Is your relationship struggling? Do fights or silences break out before you even know what happened? Do you feel cut out or lonely in your relationship? These are signs that the ‘check engine’ light is on and it might be time to take your relationship in for a check up. Sometimes you just get to a point where you need expert help. I excel at helping couples work through challenging conflicts and move past barriers to intimacy. Whatever the particular circumstances I will work with you to sort things out in an open and understanding way.

I use a blend of therapeutic techniques including Brainspotting to help you first understand and then have a new experience of yourself and your partner.

We cannot always control the situations we find ourselves in but we can choose how to react to them. I believe change comes from vulnerability, respect, and an ability to lean into the uncomfortable. In our work together, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space which will enable you to explore yourself and create the resilience you will need to face adversity. I see challenges as an opportunity for growth and believe one can always learn from mistakes.

I strive to give each patient the experience of being clearly seen and deeply understood. This occurs through interactive inquiry into the unique life experiences of each person. As we explore the sources of anxiety and distress that typically bring someone in to see me, trust develops and becomes the foundation for continued growth. Gradually, suffering diminishes, and there is an increase in self understanding and personal freedom. My hope is for each patient to live fully in the present with a strong sense of self, and with the capacity to have relationships that are rich and deeply satisfying. .

You're seeking therapy because something isn't working anymore in your life. Whether it's negative self-talk, feeling "stuck" or a lack of direction, difficult feelings, experiencing lack of motivation or "numbness", or a desire to be more true and aligned with who you are internally, therapy is a wonderful place to start. We seek it due to unhappiness with ourselves or in our relationships, in order to understand or fix problems that arise, to reconnect with who we are at our core, and ultimately to heal old wounds.

Clients who are struggling but wanting to not only heal, but also grow have the potential for being extremely powerful people. We have all gone through difficult times, experiencing anxiety, fear, depression, and hopelessness. However, if we have healed, we look back and see those times as hard, but some of the most powerful in our lives. Hearts can become strong, marriages can be healed and become euphoric, and our families can become strong, powerful, and beautiful. If you have a Christian background, I can help you become stronger in your faith. If you want to become a stronger leader, I am also an executive coach.

Our work together is collaborative— I won’t just ask you “and how does that make you feel.” I will frequently check in to see how therapy is going for you and if it is meeting your goals. Perhaps a change in your life is on the horizon or you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships. Maybe you feel stuck in familiar limiting patterns. Illness might be visiting your life and dashing your hopes and plans for the future. We will find our way out of these stuck places together. It’s your journey and I am here to support you in creating an authentic life with healthy connections to others.

Accepting new clients in 2023, both in-person and telehealth. Depression, stress, fear, anxiety, and trauma are some of the most uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. We often find ourselves stuck, frozen, and unable to move forward, yet it hurts to stay exactly where we are. Conflict, stress, life changes, resentment, infidelity, focusing on the "business" side of family and running a home, can all drive couples into their own silos and erode emotional connection.

Are you feeling disconnected from your body, partner(s), family, or sense of self? Are you wanting to respond to difficult situations rather than react? Are you experiencing high stress because your body, identities and/or partnerships disrupt harmful societal norms? Are you struggling with an inner critic at your job or in your relationships? Are you reassessing your relationship to alcohol or other substances? Have you had traumatic past experiences that you feel ready to confront but are afraid to do so alone? If any of these questions reflect your current experience, I can support you in making lasting change.
