Are you currently finding it difficult exploring your emotions? Anger? Fear? Shame? Sadness? Sometimes, does it seem that wondering about these emotions causes some anxiety and stress? Do you feel family, friends, and others don't understand? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely can benefit from addressing those thoughts through therapy where there is Confidentiality, Support, and No Judgement.

My approach to counseling incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy & Mindfulness & Acceptance Based theories.

I am a patient, compassionate, non-judgmental therapist who understands struggle and uncertainty. I believe that people are generally doing their best, and that growth and change is hard, uncomfortable, and scary. I think having someone help you navigate your path can be instrumental to moving forward through tough times or transitions. It can also help to be challenged when you are stuck in your safety zone. I offer individual therapy for partners dealing with relational problems who are coming to therapy for the first time, who are unsure about whether they will benefit from therapy, or who are skeptical about therapy in general.

It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative effort between client and counselor. Therefore, during our sessions we will work together to define your goals, illuminate critical issues, and explore specific patterns of behavior, emotions, and feelings. Our work together begins as we sift through your past and present relationships, family dynamics, and important life themes. As a resource for processing, I can offer you insight, suggestions, and encouragement towards achieving your goals. I believe that if you understand the feelings behind your beliefs you will achieve clarity to make different choices. Together we will develop strategies to faciltate change.
