My training as a couples, marriage and family therapist leads me to view client functioning in terms of relationships. My goal is to help clients bring forth a self that feels true and real. I help clients learn to ask for and receive what they need from others, embracing life and life's challenges with courage, renewed spirit, and a sense of wholeness. When clients feel supported, validated, and understood they often find that symptoms of depression and anxiety are relieved. Working with me, clients will learn to access their inner resources as we generate solutions together.

You “can’t take it anymore”! You're at a crossroad or hit a wall. You’ve been trying and trying to fix it… that constant source of frustration, disappointment, and heartache. You’ve been trying to make it right, make it better, make it go away, make it work! What seems natural and easy to others is allusive, confusing, discouraging and overwhelming to you. It’s time for a change. It’s within the dynamic of human relationship where we become who we’re meant to be, do what we’re designed to do, and arrive at our destinations of longing. The greatest healing, growth, and success result from human connection.

My belief is that all clients have unique insight and ability to improve their own lives, but may need the counselor and counseling sessions to help identify these strengths. I believe that in an objective, supportive environment, clients reveal their own solutions to life's difficulties. I also believe that with appropriate support, a client can maintain balance and vitality, without the need of long-lasting medication. My style is to partner with each client in identifying their individual goals they would like to achieve. Together, we then work towards realizing these goals. My style is collaborative, supportive, and coaching.

Life can be as painful as it is beautiful. It's not always easy to be our true selves. I am here to support you in living life authentically and without shame - to be confident in the person you truly are. Together we can celebrate the positives and work through the challenges that life presents. I believe your personal goals can be achieved and your struggles can be overcome with support that meets your needs.

I specialize in working with couples from all walks of life, as well as families in which one member is exploring their gender identity or actively transitioning. I understand that gender exploration and transition can create unique challenges within families; it can bring out family dynamics that are painful and difficult to navigate without help. I am here to support you with that. Regarding couples, it's not unusual to experience challenges in your relationship as you face the challenges of daily living. I am here to help you improve communication, increase understanding, and find your way back to each other.
