Since I have been doing counseling/therapy for 35+ years, I am very familiar with many approaches and theories. My first step in working with a person or couples is to help them express the goal(s) they wish to achieve in seeking counseling and then work with them to either discover the skills within themselves or help them develop these skills to reach these goals and live fulfilled lives.

I work with clients who feel stuck due to a variety of reasons: relationship troubles, family issues, or unresolved trauma. Many clients I've worked with have grown in their ability to set healthy boundaries with others and themselves; feel and accept their emotions; become better communicators; improve parenting by addressing their own triggers; grow in self-confidence and reduce anxiety. I have experience with OCD, adult ADHD, perfectionism, spiritual deconstruction/deconversion issues and complex trauma. My clients includes adults, teens and kids/parents.

It is easy to feel anxious, depressed, have low self esteem, or grief. Maybe you are in a difficult relationship where your needs aren't being met, or are recovering from some form of infidelity. I believe healing can be found with self exploration, conversation and the support of a compassionate therapist. I work to make sure you feel safe to take time, breathe, feel free to process your thoughts (big or small), cry, shout, and laugh. It is through this process I hope you will find healing and strength.

You never thought your marriage would look like this. The fights. The yelling. It's all exhausting. You want to stay married, you just can't see how to make it happen or if it will even work. It feels like in the midst of doing life together something changed and the spark that brought you together feels like a tiny flicker now. You want things to be the way they were before life got so hard but that feels like lightyears ago. The passion is missing. The trust is missing. Intimacy is practically non-existent.
