MARRIAGE ON THE BRINK? Discernment Counseling is a new and innovative short-term therapy (just 1-5 sessions) that is designed for couples who are not sure, or cannot agree, whether to work on their marriage or consider divorce. This is not traditional marriage counseling - my goal is to help you and your spouse gain clarity and confidence about a direction for your relationship in order to decide whether to recommit to marriage, move toward divorce, or maintain the status quo.

I love working with children and adolescents. Before I get a history from you, I like to meet with your teenager to let them feel like they have a choice in picking their therapist. This gives them a sense of control and they are then more committed to the therapy. I will integrate the family as necessary. I have extensive success with children of divorce, those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem and difficulty managing anger. I also connect well with adults and young adults dealing with life transitions.

It's never too late to understand yourself. If you can synchronize your heart and mind, you can harmonize your life. The therapeutic space I create is to help you learn about who you are as an individual and see your blind spots. Regardless if you're coming on your own or as a couple, the therapeutic work that we will be done is not just about solving problems. It’s primarily to help you figure out what's behind these issues and increase your self-worth along the way. Therapy is challenging, but can be fulfilling. The goal is to facilitate you in witnessing your life in the healthiest of ways as you become closer to your true self.

Life can be really hard and painful. Perhaps you feel stuck, confused, frustrated or overwhelmed. It is important to develop effective tools and strategies to strengthen our capacity to move through difficulty better, with more clarity and better decision making ability. Maybe you have reached a point in life where you cannot keep doing what you are doing because it is no longer working. You need to try a different strategy for better results. I also have a unique understanding and depth of narcissism and how to heal from narcissistic abuse.

Welcome! I celebrate you for being here. Perhaps your childhood was very hard and you’ve noticed things from your past start to resurface or maybe your child is now struggling emotionally for a variety of reasons and you’re at a loss with how to help them.

Human beings of all ages and walks of life can experience pain, isolation, fear, feeling lost or uncertain about themselves, and among many other internal challenges.

Are you struggling with relationship or personal issues? I invite you to schedule a free consultation so I can help you discover tools for better communication and emotional health. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all, let me assess what is going on for you and learn about the areas of stress in your life. I use a variety of methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Relaxation/Guided Imagery and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families. I also specialize in grief, anxiety, blended families and co-parenting issues as a certified Parenting with Love and Logic Facilitator.

Are you and your partner caught in repeating conflicts, feeling unheard, disconnected, or lonely? Do you find yourselves stuck on a particular issue, unable to move forward?

At Hyland and Associates, we specialize in helping couples understand their relational dance, uncovering deeper emotions behind anger, frustration, and pain.

Let's talk about what nobody wants to talk about. If toxic relationships, boundaries, co-dependency, sexual dissatisfaction, or problems with intimacy are on your mind, we can create a plan to address this. Ultimately, healthy relationships are vital to our overall well being, let’s help you achieve that. Together we will explore the obstacles and challenges that are showing up in your situation.

Children don't come with a set of instructions! Neither does parenting. No matter how much we try, sometimes we sit there, feeling guilty, looking for places to hide from the eyes of judgment, and wondering if there is something we can do better. It gets tough trying to figure out who to listen to anymore, or even wonder if our child's behavior is "normal." Let alone finding the time and energy to juggle it all. Or maybe we just want a little support! But as parents, one thing we do know for a fact, is that we LOVE our little ones and we are always trying to do what is best for them, no matter what that looks like!

Experiencing high anxiety can be an overwhelming and all-encompassing ordeal which often leads to feelings of depression. It's like constantly living on the edge of a cliff, where every thought and action feels like a potential fall into the abyss. Your mind races with worry and fear, creating a sense of impending doom that is difficult to shake off. Physically, it can manifest as a tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, or a racing heart, making it feel like you're constantly on alert for danger. Simple tasks become monumental challenges as the anxiety grips you, making it hard to concentrate or relax.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with specialized experience treating trauma and anxiety disorders. My practice utilizes intentional listening and attunement, curiosity, and empathy, to guide and support my clients to identify beliefs that no longer serve them and help them recover from symptoms of stress, anxiety, difficult life changes/transitions, women’s issues, and trauma. I believe that transformation occurs when the body, mind and heart are working in unison and symbiotically, and it is my mission to use therapy as a tool to help clients achieve that.

Life is filled with challenges that affect each of us in different ways. I believe the way we approach and overcome those challenges allows us to experience life to the fullest.

Through my experience in a variety of settings, I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more authentic life.
