I use a relational approach, which means our relationship is very important to me.
Do you wish to feel free? I work with people who have had their lives change because of trauma or life changes, helping them to find healing, meaning in their relationships, and freedom in their lives. I treat trauma, relationship issues, and life stressors of all kinds. If you're ready to make changes, but need help figuring out how to get there, I'm here for you. If you bring your dream, I'll bring the structure and vision so that you can love the way life feels again. We will go together into a new future that feels safe, beautiful, and worth living.

I have experience working with adolescents, college students, women, and pre-marital couples.
Regardless of where you find yourself, you deserve to feel supported, understood, and heard. Life brings us so many seasons. Some seasons can be challenging, making us question our purpose and worth. Other seasons feel permanent, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. Or maybe we experience a change, forcing us to shift and transition. My desire is to meet you exactly where you are, no matter the season you find yourself in. I hope to walk with you towards a place of growth as you realize your strengths and self-worth.

I view counseling as a unique relationship between a person trained in the process of change (the therapist) and a person who is an expert in their own lived experience (the client).
Acknowledging you're stuck and need help can be hard. Reaching out and finding a therapist can be daunting. Retelling your story can be painful. However, taking these steps and investing in your mental health is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

I am passionate about helping couples at all stages of their relationship.
Intimate relationships can be difficult but when we learn how to truly be there for one another we enjoy greater emotional and physical well-being. Ongoing problems such as conflicts, disconnection and overwhelming feelings often lead to depression, betrayal, loss of sexual desire, poor physical health, and inability to resolve past traumas. When problems with our partner get to levels such as these intimacy and trust fade to arguments, loneliness and fear. With my assistance couples attain a level of security, commitment and intimacy not experienced before. I am also a Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases informed Psychologist.

We offer individual and couple therapy and coaching with the goal of increasing understanding of neurodiversity and its impact on the person, their partner, family, or work environment.
Neurodiversity refers to variances in how our brains function. This can include neurodevelopmental issues such being on the autism spectrum, having ADHD, auditory or sensory processing issues, learning disabilities, and/or neurologically based mental health issues such as chronic anxiety, depression, OCD, or PTSD. These differences in brains styles affect how people perceive the world, communicate, and express and receive love. We do this by offering therapy, coaching, consultation, or education for individuals, couples and families, as well as business consultations.

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.
