We will together build a therapeutic relationship which will promote peace, harmony, and personal growth in your life.
We are complex individuals molded and sometimes broken by our unique life experiences. These experiences provide the subjective lens through which we perceive reality, and can negatively influence our thoughts and behaviors. This can sometimes happen outside of our awareness. For instance, we often create hidden internal conflicts which can cause daily distress in our lives. However, we can also be very aware of negative thoughts and behaviors which create havoc in our lives. By allowing me to step into your story and your life experiences, we can work towards the goal of improving your overall well-being and happiness.

My private practice specializes in trauma therapy with individuals and evidenced based approaches to help you with relationship problems.
Have you experienced physical emotional or sexual abuse in your life? If you are struggling with nervousness, anxiety, low self-esteem, feeling hopeless, unable to trust anyone and feeling you are not good enough as the result of emotional, physical or sexual abuse, then you need to contact me. I understand the impact that trauma has on survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse...how it makes you feel unworthy, how it makes you feel unsafe today, and how it is difficult to enjoy life. Don't let the past continue to impact your present life...you have suffered enough! I offer EMDR therapy to help you get past your past.

It is so distressing to have ongoing tension with your partner, to feel alone when you're right next to them, to wonder if they still value you.
Maintaining a feeling of connection to your romantic partner is really hard. If you desire to feel more connected, to find a way to rebuild trust after a betrayal of some kind, or just feel stuck on the same fights over and over, I can help. Some couples need help building a vibrant friendship again, while others need help reconnecting after trauma or betrayals. I love helping couples figure out ways to feel heard and understood by their partner, to walk with them as they heal from breaches of trust (It can be done!), and find ways to get past the places where they feel stuck.

I enjoy helping individuals and couples of all backgrounds unlock their potential for self healing through the use of EMDR, mindfulness, parts work, somatic integration and a variety of creative, holistic modalities.
Are you tired of living in survival mode? Perhaps you're wondering if there could be more to life than just getting by? Would you love to learn to relax, to bring playfulness, peace and purpose back into your life? Trauma isn't what happens to us, it's what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. It's the invisible walls we build around our hearts to keep ourselves safe and the chronic dysregulation in our nervous systems. By addressing unresolved trauma, we can heal the roots of disconnection, self-sabotage, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, codependency and more. We can awaken our hearts and begin to thrive!

If you feel upended or overwhelmed, need to process hard emotions, or want to work on building a stronger relationship, with yourself or others, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment with me, in person or online.
Life isn’t always easy and sometimes we need a safe space to process difficult emotions, heal and find ways to move forward. Sometimes we need additional tools to resolve couple conflicts or deepen the couple connection. And then there are times we are grieving the loss of a loved one, a friend, or a dream and we need to talk and cry it out and heal. And then there are times we meet “the one” and want to build a relationship that lasts through life’s transitions. Sometimes we’re anxious and our worry thoughts disrupt our thinking and daily living and we need to free ourselves of it or learn better coping skills to manage it.

Therapy can help us be a better partner, friend, or parent.
One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

If you desire to overcome life's obstacles, therapy may be your opportunity.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck concerning their relationships, emotions, work, finances, health, or purpose. They are looking for an identity outside of parent or worker. They are feeling depressed and hopeless lately. They are the type that is generally anxious, worried, or on edge. Their goal may be to change their life, but they are not sure how. They may have tried a ton of different self-help, spiritual, or healing modalities on their own but had moments where they have started to think it's never going to happen for them. They need to break free of nonproductive cycles and poor choices to change their lives.

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.
