But, think of making your first appointment with me as your first step in creating a better relationship with yourself and your life…decide that YOU matter enough to begin!
Life today can be VERY tough to navigate, but can seem overwhelming when you constantly feel stressed out, discouraged, or simply "not enough." Or, maybe you didn’t get off to a good start in life and believe that your chances for something better are slim…or you feel so worn down by the challenges of painful emotions, chronic illness, or addiction--or more than one of these--that you wonder “Is this all there is?” Well, the good news is that your best life is waiting for you, and as a therapist it is my honor to support you in taking the steps to reclaim your dreams, heal your past, grow your strength, and build your future!

Untangling the anxieties and frustrations that keep you tied to unrewarding work or relationships, and freeing you to follow the path with heart is the goal of my work.
Creating the life you want to live can be incredibly difficult. The forces pushing you to conform to expectations are strong. But what I have learned is that there is a force inside each of us which is even stronger. Jung called this force the “Self” and the process that it sets in motion is “individuation.” Honoring the impulses coming from the Self moves us on to a path which is ours alone, where we can discover the deep passions and purpose of our existence. Are you ready and willing to answer the “call to adventure?’

Chances are it is a tough time if you are reading my bio. As someone who is personally familiar with loss, anxiety, or even depression, I very likely have a strong sense for what you are going through. I know life can be truly overwhelming at times. And, that it can be all too easy to find ourselves stuck in destructive patterns that leave us feeling ashamed and embarrassed, which is especially painful when we want so much more from life. It can be really hard to find hope and life-giving guidance to emerge from tough times stronger and healthier than you've ever been before. It can feel like clarity is an impossible dream.

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.
