Life is hard and we sometimes need someone to walk with us through it. My passion is for women and men troubled with relationship issues or who struggle with depression and anxiety which can manifest in a number of ways including self harm, low self-esteem, eating disorders, and panic attacks. I get excited to work with couples helping them build intimacy and understanding of themselves and one another. I love working with motivated clients and it's my passion to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment to explore those tough and sometimes dark places with those who want to move forward and live the life they desire.

I partner with you to discover your strengths and teach you ways to think and react differently to your challenges whether those be current or in the past.
A starting point of CHANGE..."We can't solve our problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them."--Albert Einstein. It is true that we cannot always chose the events that happen or have happened to us. But we CAN chose consciously the interpretation we make about things that happen to us. Change begins when we accept ourselves "as is" and empower ourselves to overcome or cope with life's challenges. Change occurs when we stop believing negative thoughts about ourselves and the world around us and begin giving ourselves the love and acceptance that we desperately need and deserve.

I enjoy working with trauma, relationship issues, addictions, anxiety/panic, depression/grief and codependency.
I excel at helping my clients achieve deep lasting change. Clients regularly tell me they have never had therapy be so successful before. You are likely angry, numb, depressed, afraid, or simply not sure what is going on with you. I am open, sensitive, and calming while I work to meet you where you are. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to be yourself and to explore more of who you are. I am eclectic in my approach. My go-to model is one that teaches you how to provide healing to yourself through its meditative qualities. This therapy model is called IFS (Internal Family Systems).

The fact that you are seeking to connect with a therapist is a sign that you want to begin the journey of self discovery, healing, and transformation. Therapy is a process of self-exploration where you learn why you do what you do, as well as how to change behaviors. By building a therapeutic relationship, I can assist you in becoming reacquainted with your true self. With over 15 years of experience in working with adults, adolescents, families and couples, my approach has always been to meet my clients were they are and to progress at a pace that is comfortable for sustained success.

Finding the best fit for a new therapist can be challenging and scary as you step into a place of vulnerability. My experience has provided me with the opportunity to work with those who suffer from severe mental illness and substance abuse over the last 10 years in various settings. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who suffer from symptoms of depression, anxiety, other mood disorders, personality disorders, and thought disorders, as well as, those who suffer from trauma (ie. childhood attachment related issues or various relational traumas).

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.
