- - - I have very limited openings for weekly clients, but do have space for couples intensive clients. - - - It takes tremendous courage to choose to walk through difficult places, and it takes even more courage to invite a counselor to walk with you. I consider it an honor to join with my clients as they face the challenges in life, whether it be wounds from the past , struggles with managing mood and thoughts, issues with relational functioning, sex, or unhealthy coping. I believe there is power in relationship and I consider it a joy to help clients learn how to better relate to themselves, others and the world around them.
I enjoy working with adults, and couples on issues including complex family dysfunction, relational or marital distress, identity issues, anxiety, depression and additional mental illness. I also work with sexuality issues including difficulties with desire, dysfunction, and communication surrounding sexuality.
My faith as a Christian provides the energy for my work, but I have tremendous respect for each person's story and strive to honor the client's differing views and choice on whether or not to incorporate issues of faith or spirituality into therapy.

In my work with couples, I use an extended session format (80 min sessions) so that we can ensure we have space to make progress. I base my work in attachment science and work with couples to help them identify and shift negative cycles that often feel so paralyzing. — I also offer 1, 2 or 3 day couples intensives, which can provide tremendous momentum for couples feeling stuck.

With couples, I primarily use an EFT lens to help them make sense of their struggles to connect. With individuals, I approach therapy from an integrative and client centered framework.
