I believe that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted for who they are. Every day life can be exhausting, and it can feel heavy to carry stress on your own. Sometimes we are our own harshest critic, unable to see how resilient we are. Whether you are navigating anxiety,
relationship
stress, grief, unresolved trauma, or even if you aren't sure what you are feeling, my hope is to help lighten your heavy load. We will work together to help you feel at peace and find moments of joy, even on the toughest of days. You deserve to see how capable, worthy, and wonderful you are, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

I invite clients and
couples
to relax and settle into the session experience, to share their stories and offer compassion to themselves and to others.
Life isn’t always easy and sometimes we need a safe space to process difficult emotions, heal and find ways to move forward. Sometimes we need additional tools to resolve couple conflicts or deepen the couple connection. And then there are times we are grieving the loss of a loved one, a friend, or a dream and we need to talk and cry it out and heal. And then there are times we meet “the one” and want to build a
relationship
that lasts through life’s transitions. Sometimes we’re anxious and our worry thoughts disrupt our thinking and daily living and we need to free ourselves of it or learn better coping skills to manage it.

There are no ideal clients. I believe they are all interesting and they are all human beings; each with their own imperfections. I have learned to listen to them carefully and help them set their own goals. Many have daily life problems such as a depression caused by loss. Others caused by stress. Some have anger issues related to the childhood experiences, others related to frustration. Some come to me because of difficulties in a
relationship
. Some have difficulties with communication. All my patients want to be understood.

The key to meaningful change is an open, collaborative
relationship
between client and therapist.
"Never underestimate a person's capacity for change." This motto has driven my approach to assisting others throughout my 10+ years as a helping professional. We all have a unique set of circumstances and experiences that shape us for better or worse. This sometimes results in difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors. If you desire to overcome life's obstacles, therapy may be your opportunity. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression or any other issue life may throw at you, empowerment and insight is just a step away.

I work with children, teens, and adults from ages 6-60 in providing individual, family,
couples
, and group mental health services.
Seventy percent of counseling treatment outcomes are dependent on the connection and trust between client and therapist. As a Mexican, First Nations (Cree), and Euro-American woman, I understand the incredible importance of client centered treatment based on the cultural mental health needs of the individual and family. It has been my joy to provide psychotherapy services to children, teens, adults, and families since 2016. I have had the privilege of providing supportive mental health services in schools, homes, outpatient facilities, and online. I have advanced training in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with EMDR and IFS.

Therapy can help us be a better
partner
, friend, or parent.
One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

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.
