The only reasonable approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are. Perhaps you are feeling sad; Depression or anxiety have affected your daily functioning; Perhaps you struggle with PTSD/trauma; You are in a relationship that isn't working and you would like to mend things or try to figure out what to do next. You are experiencing sexual problems, identity problems, or career problems. I would be honored to co-partner with you to bring you to a place in life where brokenness is replaced by freedom and happiness.

I enjoy working with adults in an individual setting. I believe that you have the ability to solve your own conflicts. However, sometimes it is helpful to be able to have a safe place to process options and solutions to life's everyday challenges.

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.

You want to feel happy again. But before you step out of bed in the morning, you already feel anxious and overwhelmed. You work hard to be a good mom, wife, employee, and friend.

Relationships can be difficult - and marriage even more so. Restore works with individuals and couples that are struggling with intimacy, affairs, anxiety, anger, feeling disconnected, and that's just to name a few. Couples reach a point where they see that their communication is not working and they are not feeling happy. Arguments become repetitive, and feelings of hopelessness or resentment start to grow. For many who don't get help, this is a certain path to divorce - but what if you could find your way back to each other? Restore also helps individuals discover what is blocking them from their goals and healthy living.
