I am particularly comfortable working with clients on depression, anxiety, trauma, and
relationship
conflicts.
Need help? Are you feeling too afraid, angry, or alone? Reaching out for assistance can be an important step to building internal strength and gaining control over one's emotions. Many may feel guilt or shame in being out of control with these feelings, yet seeking help may be the most effective path to gaining the skills and growing as individuals.

I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy, no matter how large or small the problems feel at the time. I enjoy working with different populations of clients and appreciate the diversity that each client brings to the therapeutic
relationship
. Treating the family, when possible, is often necessary to make long standing changes within the individual and family. Having a supportive and honest atmosphere is crucial for obtaining the best results from the therapeutic alliance and the interventions utilized in sessions. My goal is to assist clients in coping with life stressors in the best way possible.

Accepting telehealth clients! Taking the step to seek therapy can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming. I look forward to working with clients and
couples
who are brave enough to take this step to better themselves and their relationships. My focus primarily lies in bettering client's self-esteem through exploring their identity and personal experiences that have made them who they are today. My ideal clients may not know where or how to begin their journey of self discovery, but are willing to take the chance. I work directly with clients to create their own goals. I tend to work at the client's pace, pushing them when need be.

During my years working within the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working with families, parents,
couples
, and individuals to address their challenges.
This crazy journey called life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, searching for answers we can’t seem to find, or dealt a blow from which it feels impossible to recover. Counseling could aid you in breaking life down into more manageable pieces, inject a fresh perspective inspiring hope, guide you to finding the answers you are looking for, or teach you how to pick yourself up after a particularly brutal blow. Whatever the challenges you face, know there is hope and you are worth fighting for. I want you to know you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing; instead counseling can guide, teach, and revitalize your life.

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.
