I strive to develop a therapeutic
relationship
with my clients that is trusting, collaborative, and encourages personal growth.
Every dark cloud has a silver lining. It might sound cliche, but it's true. There's still hope for a brighter future in spite of any present challenges. I support clients who are dealing with mental health conditions like depression or anxiety as well as those who are facing normal but difficult life situations like stress, grief/loss,
relationship
/family conflict, or problems at work. I’m deeply passionate about helping people who have difficulty maintaining emotional balance or need support in changing unhealthy mindsets and behaviors. I work with adults,
couples
, and families from all cultural backgrounds and lifestyles.

CBT involves examining the
relationship
between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and finding ways to disrupt patterns in our lives that bring us distress.
I work with children, teen, and adult clients on a variety of challenges, including behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. As a young professional, I believe myself to be uniquely able to connect with the needs and culture of today's teens and young adults. I also consider myself an ally to all racial groups as well as the queer community. As a therapist with a commitment to lifelong learning, I know it is my responsibility to approach issues of diversity with humility, empathy, and openness.

I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and feel honored in helping
couples
get to the heart of their relational struggles and find a deeper and closer connection together.
Many people come to counseling feeling stuck in certain behaviors, relational patterns, or emotional cycles, perhaps without even understanding why, or without hope of lasting change. My desire is to journey with you toward emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational wholeness. You may be facing a broken
relationship
, suffering from disordered eating or body image concerns, have a history of sexual abuse or trauma, be living with or recovering from a serious illness, or be experiencing depression or anxiety. There is hope!

Next, you'll learn to develop a more helpful
relationship
with yourself so you can get out of your own way.
My approach with clients is to begin where you are and identify specific goals for your situation. I do this by helping to discover the strengths you already possess and build a plan from there. I believe that each person has the full capacity and ability to heal no matter the hurdles or the history. In addition to my support and guidance to the people I work with, I also walk through the journey with something to learn from you as well. We all have a unique story and it's my role to help you tell yours from a place of positive support and healing using a variety of evidence based techniques.

As a therapist, I believe that all of us can benefit from the use of help at times in managing the struggles brought on by the stresses of daily living, work or school, life transitions, grief, and past traumas.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
