I believe one's spiritual, emotional, and physical well being are inextricably linked and that suffering in one area of one's life can have a profound impact on other areas. My primary focus is on relationships, as troubled relationships from our past can result in challenging problems in our present. Additionally, mental health issues often create problems in our present relationships, whether personally or professionally. Taking a holistic view of my clients while integrating various therapeutic approaches based on their effectiveness for each client has been my goal and passion.

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!

Compassion. Understanding. Growth.

Welcome!! My passion is to help individuals who are dealing with obstacles in their lives or mental health challenges gain insight into thoughts and behaviors that keep us stuck, develop positive coping skills, and learn how to live positive, fulfilling lives. My therapeutic approach is based on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to teach my clients to identify and learn how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs influence our behaviors. When working with anxiety disorders, I use a combination of CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness meditation/relaxation practices to teach my clients how to manage anxiety.

As a depth psychotherapist, my goal is to help you uncover your highest potential for living a life worth celebrating. While we cannot change our past, we can learn new tools/skills for resolving current life challenges. We will identify long-standing negative behavior patterns and replace these with more effective, life affirming skills. As a couple, you will learn more effective communication and listening skills for resolving conflict, which is a part of all long-term passionate relationships. Given the right tools, knowledge, and guidance, your life and relationships can experience growth and transformation!. We also offer services nationally via video and teleconference counseling.

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." ~ [George Addair] It's easy to continue doing what you've always done, but seeking help during a challenging time takes courage. I understand the feelings of discomfort and anxiety that may accompany your first visit with a therapist. I do my best to create an atmosphere that puts you at ease. My office may remind you of your living room and your experience will be judgement free.

There is no perfect person so I welcome anyone who seeking help.

As a certified RRT Practitioner and a CSAT offering psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and Rapid Resolution Therapy, I specialize in healing trauma as well as in sex, love, and relationship addiction. Counseling is, for me, about witnessing someone else's personal story and providing a safe place to experience the whole range of emotions. I provide a nurturing, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment in which to explore your issues. Together we will develop new strategies to help you deal with life's challenges so that you are better able to experience life's joys.

Coming to therapy can be hard. Our goal is to make therapy and coaching a positive experience.

Relationships are hard. Sometimes we experience anxiety around navigating a new relationship , or we’re trying to take our current relationship to the next level and we’re not sure what that next level is. For some of us, we’re experiencing so much frustration around being misunderstood or betrayed by our partner. For others, we just have so much tension in our relationship that it feels like we’re stuck in a never ending cycle of issues. It’s exhausting. So, how do we navigate the parts of us that want to connect and the parts of us that want to protect? I say, let's explore that together.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work primarily with couples and adult individuals focused on improving relationships with the person they love or those who play important parts in their lives. Finding a way to be on the same page with those who we care about most can be difficult. Learning to strengthen relationship bonds through meaningful ways of connection and expression can be a powerful experience in establishing self-confidence, strong resolve, and long-lasting partnerships.

Do you long for increased understanding, improved communication, and deeper connection with your partner? Are you arguing more and enjoying each other less? Is the romance gone? Are you concerned about your child's mood or behavior? Does he/she seem anxious or depressed? Are you worried that you may repeat destructive patterns from your childhood? Would you like to improve communication with your child? Or, are you interested in working through your own individual unresolved issues or situational problems? Would you like to learn healthier coping skills, let go of self-defeating patterns, and move toward your full potential?

Are you tired of being the “strong friend”? The one that everyone knows they can depend on, and so rarely experiencing this in return. Are you struggling silently and maybe a bit confused about it all? Do you feel the need to constantly “do better” or “do more”? Even though deep down you know that you are doing so much already, yet for some reason, you continue to feel inadequate or out of place. Are you ready to heal a relationship ? Do you feel that there may be a past trauma that is preventing you from your own healing? Are you navigating new life transitions? Are you ready to talk with someone about your depression or anxiety?

Maybe you are overwhelmed, perhaps you are trying to navigate a romantic relationship or parenting, or maybe you are struggling to handle your emotions and don’t know what to do. Maybe you want to stop using substances and aren't sure what that looks like. Whatever the difficulty, as your therapist, its my pleasure to come alongside and help navigate difficult times that life brings. The decision to attend therapy takes tremendous courage and I strive to create an open place for you to share your vulnerabilities, work towards lasting change, and feel understood and validated.
