My third specialty area is treating relationship and marital problems.

Your relationships are your strongest resource to reaching your goals. It can be hard to share our feelings and ask for what we need, but this is a skill anyone can develop. I became a therapist to support parents as they raise children and support adolescents as they become functionally independent and successful adults.

Asking for help isn’t about a deficit or weakness you have, but because you want to be get stronger and healthier. Life can be a challenge.

You can expect professional high-quality care, humor, and a compassionate yet challenging partnership to help you discover quality mental health strengthening & wellness.

Life is sometimes complicated and issues can arise that are often times overwhelming. We all are striving to do our best and reaching out for support and help during difficult times is one of the most courageous things we can do...we are not meant to do this alone. Trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues along side the wounds we carry with us keep us from connecting in real authentic and healthy ways with each other and with ourselves. I believe you are the true expert of yourself and together we will walk this journey to healing, self-compassion, and safe connections.

Brené Brown says that “sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” My clients are those who want to show up for themselves. They are often deeply-feeling, highly-sensitive people who have struggled to integrate all parts of themselves, but who are ready to experience the confidence that comes from owning painful chapters of their stories. My clients have often survived trauma and want to meet their past in a way that opens up freedom for their future. In other words, my clients are brave change-makers who haven’t yet fully realized that their sensitivity is perhaps their greatest superpower.

Are the smallest things causing anxiety? Do you feel easily attacked, targeted, on the defensive? When something bad happens around you, do you usually believe you are partially to blame?
