I often notice that couples forget that together, they can create a life that they both truly love. My job is to remind you of that and help create a roadmap of how to get there. So often, we settle into a place of disconnection, resentment, frustration, or disdain. Maybe trust has been broken, or you feel more like strangers then best friends. The relationship between partners can add the most incredible richness, excitement and beauty to our worlds, but relationships are always changing and growing- either growing apart or growing together. In couples therapy we'll explore how to get back to growing hand in hand.

Now scheduling for student intern sessions! Supervised student interns are an affordable option for quality counseling. Throughout our lifespan, we will be faced with transitions. Children experiences changes within the family as well as school, friends, and daily routine. Then there’s puberty, which brings about a whole new set of changes in a teenager.

Sometimes we can move through these transitions smoothly; however, other times it doesn’t go quite as well.
