Sometimes life feels like it’s going in the right direction, and at times it throws a few unexpected twists and turns our way. When that happens, we can find ourselves feeling stressed, irritable, frustrated, sad, and maybe even scared. We may find it difficult to share these with others, feeling as if no one will understand. On the other hand, life might feel like it’s going great, but there’s still those changes that you might want to make but are just unsure of how to go about it. Although life can be so different for so many, the great thing is that it doesn’t have to be dealt with alone.

Our lives and relationships are often overwhelming. When we face stressful times we often find we aren’t equipped to handle these struggles alone. I strive to approach therapy with honesty, empathy, and humor to help you feel seen, heard, and less alone. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I tailor my therapy approach to each client for individual, couples, or family therapy . I aim to provide a safe space for clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, meaning, purpose, relationship issues, and self-esteem.

Believe it or not, you have everything within you to make the changes that you desire! Utilizing my expertise and experience, I am passionate about helping you discover or re-discover those strengths. Help is available and change is possible. Whether it is to enhance your life, alleviate pain, and/or improve your relationships, I am here to help you find unique outcomes that work for you. I would be honored to get to know you and help you in this process.

Hey there! I’m a marriage and family therapist who enjoys working with individuals, couples, and families from various backgrounds and walks of life. I have experience working with people of various ages, identities, religious/spiritual beliefs, and sexualities. I really enjoy helping people define and achieve their unique goals and needs in therapy, and I strive to offer a relaxed environment where people can be themselves whatever that may look like.

Working with children and families, I strive to empower my clients to create lasting bonds and create solutions to improve everyday living in their homes and school environments. I have worked extensively in the foster care system with biological and foster parents, addressing behavioral issues, family of origin issues and family bonding/attachment. I enjoy both in home and in office sessions and working with the entire family to meet the individual needs.

Talking (and listening!) are good ways to solve problems. People have been doing this for centuries, but few do it well. That's where I come in. My listening skills are fine-tuned, and I can help you to find where your blind spots are, if any, as well as help you brainstorm solutions to the struggles you are facing. I come from a Christian perspective, but I do not preach at people. I also come from a perspective that says there is always hope. That hope may not be visible yet, but it is there.

Life involves challenges that can leave us feeling unfulfilled, confused, or even inadequate. Each of us has the qualities and skills to face challenges and improve our lives. We are capable of and worth more than we give ourselves credit for. There are times when our challenges keep us from recognizing this within ourselves, and therapy proves beneficial. If you feel you are not prepared to handle your challenges, let's work together to identify solutions that will work for you and lead in the direction you would like to move.

I believe there is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. I strive to come alongside and meet the needs of the individuals, couples, and families I see by providing a safe space where they can feel empowered to heal, develop, and grow what’s needed to overcome life’s many challenges.

My desire is to be a resource of safety and hope in the lives of individuals, couples and families as they are navigating difficult times in their lives; it is my belief that it is these painful and difficult times that can be the pieces of our lives that make us and our relationships stronger, healthier and beautifully unique. Most often clients already have the pieces of the puzzle within them to improve their situation and simply need a new perspective.

I provide psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families to address issues related to marriage, relationships with others, parenting, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, isolation, stress, and personal/spiritual growth. Taking a collaborative goal oriented approach, I walk alongside each individual, couple and family in the process of finding healing from the past, peace in the present, and hope for the future.

“Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.” — Steven Aitchisons
