With 15+ years of experience, I specialize in the treatment of relationships and relationship -focused therapy for adult individuals.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my passion is helping clients develop healthy functioning in their relationships, and restore harmony in their lives. Together, we will also heal any negative "cycles" (patterns of thinking, communication, and behavior) that may be present, so you can achieve secure attachment within your relationship and live a complete and harmonic life. I regularly treat issues such as poor communication, lack of connection, and infidelity/affair recovery. I meet with clients in-person and via HIPAA-compliant Zoom.

Reaching out and asking for help can be one of the most challenging aspects of starting therapy. I applaud you for taking the first step in beginning this process! My style of therapy is person-centered, meaning I focus on you, what struggles are taking place in your life, and what you're looking for in terms of therapy and tailor treatment and approach around those individual needs.

My style is conversational, relationship focused (therapeutic; self; and society).
*NEW CLIENTS ACCEPTED via TELEHEALTH* Ever feel like you have a way to do something, and though it does not work the way it seems like it should, you feel it “works for you?” Do you find that you have a way of behaving and struggle to break free from yourself? I find that humans act in patterns. We think about a problem and act in a way that is the most comfortable to us and tend to repeat these patterns regardless of the result. I work with people living with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger concerns, separation/loss/grief issues, and people coping with discrimination.

Do you find it hard to put yourself first in your relationships? Does it some times feel that no matter how hard you try, you struggle to find joy in every day life? Self care is so important for each person and if we neglect ourselves to care for others, we may have increases in depression and anxiety. Asking for help when things begin to feel overwhelming is the first step in finding the solution. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Solution Focused Treatment I have been able to help others “find themselves”, so that they can find the joy they so much deserve once again.

*Accepting new clients for daytime hours only. Return clients welcome. Please Email.* The most important thing to me is helping people reach their individualized healthy balance of clinical, emotional and personal goals in life. I pride myself in helping people to trust their mind, body (gut) and soul for positive changes. The biggest changes sometimes can be as simple as changing one or a few small realistic detail(s) on a very consistent basis, regardless of the topic. Therapy is a journey as unique as each individual and will be treated as such.

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.
