As a marriage and family therapist, I am uniquely trained to identify, track and break patterns between couples & families in conflict. I work toward helping individuals,couples and families take an active role in creating the kind of change they desire. Marriages are not meant to merely SURVIVE, but rather to THRIVE. In couples counseling I help parties develop greater insight into their relationship and maintain a mindfulness toward its growth. Through focusing on action steps, I actively challenge individuals and couples to take accountability for their own thoughts and behavior as opposed to assessing their partner's.

Current telehealth openings. I have enjoyed success helping those I work with overcome grief/loss, alleviate depression, manage anxious thoughts, control anger, and improve self-esteem. My approach is Cognitive-Behavioral, and I use homework/worksheet activities as well as goal-setting to direct the course of therapy. While working together, I help build on current strengths and find resources that are the best fit for personal growth. Here are some examples of activities I use: practicing gratitude, creating life vision plans, and writing a personal mission statement.

Living with a mental illness can be exhausting and lonely. You might find you have no energy to do anything, even the things you used to love doing. You might find you have thoughts that make you feel worse. Maybe you struggle with anxiety or trauma and feel like you are always on edge and must push yourself to do the “simple” things. Maybe "feeling better" seems out of reach. Many feel feel like nobody understands the struggles each day brings. Life can get better. It might be hard to read and believe that statement and it's true that life does not have to be one struggle after another.
