There are those days when just getting out of bed is difficult. Having someone help manage struggles and figuring life out is important. The twist and turns of life can leave one feeling drained, exhausted, and in a mental fog, or a loss of wanting to or even knowing how to move forward. This is where I come in, helping those who are stuck, lost, hopeless and who cannot figure out what’s going on inside, feeling there is no way out, or even making unhelpful choices in life. Possibly a teenager or young adult scared about life or the future and managing stress. This is why I am here.

MARRIAGE AND COUPLES COUNSELING IS MY SPECIALTY. I work with couples of all ages to help you improve communication, regulate conflict, find the "spark" that may have dimmed, and heal after the trauma and pain of infidelity.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great marriage and life. You’re accomplished, always loving to each other and close with friends and family. But on the inside, you have never felt so alone. Over the years you have tried to rationalize, fix, and excuse your relationship growing apart, yet it is disheartening. Something just does not feel right anymore, and you begin to realize you feel like you have a roommate rather than a partnership. Maintaining a fulfilling and loving relationship can be a challenge in today's fast paced environment.

Same fight. Different day. “He just doesn’t get it…” “Does he even care?” “She won’t give me a break.” “I’m not sure how much longer I can take this.” Distance and fighting in a marriage can feel like slow death. Stress. Tension. Sadness. Hopelessness. The life you have built together - house, kids, careers - all hanging in the balance. Just going through the motions is no way to live your lives together. The once unthinkable - splitting up - is now on your mind more than ever.

My passion is improving client’s relationships, both with themselves and others. I focus on increasing self-esteem, decreasing critical judgment and negative self-talk, and building a life that balances accomplishment with enjoyment and relaxation.

Each person has the gifts needed to take on any challenge. Sometimes people just need a little help unlocking those gifts. That is where I come in.

A licensed marriage and family therapist and a chemical dependency counselor, I work with individuals and couples on a variety of issues.

My practice focuses mainly on topics surrounding relationship difficulties, depression/anxiety, sexual problems, and infertility. I work with male and female clients equally and work with all couple types. I believe you are the expert on your background, experiences, values, and goals. The therapeutic relationship relies on honesty, mutual respect, sharing, and openness. Making a connection is vital to the process. My ultimate goal is to help you define and attain the goals you want in life, and direct you on a healthy path to achieve them.

No problem is too big or too small to work on in counseling. If something is causing you pain or distress, it’s worth addressing. I am here to help you discover new ways to manage your life in a way that is genuine for you. While counseling can be a difficult and emotionally taxing experience, most find hope and strength throughout the process, as well as increased well-being during and after therapy. I am passionate about helping people overcome difficult situations, and helping each individual shine as the best version of her, them or himself.

Although everyone who begins therapy hopes for a more satisfying life, people bring a variety of concerns to their first sessions. In your sessions with me, the emphasis will be on you. You'll find a comfortable place to explore your concerns and dreams and determine how to improve your experiences and relationships. I'll honor who you are--your cultural background, life choices, sexual orientation, and age. I'll offer support and feedback as you work through current and past issues and rediscover strengths that will help you move forward in a positive direction.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist I have particular experience and training in understanding individuals in the context of their relationships, families, and social identities. Sometimes our distress isn't just about what we're doing or not doing. Oftentimes, it's about how we move through the world in our social identities and how the world perceives and interacts with us so I want you to be able to talk about that in therapy. I work with families and couples; However, It is not uncommon for me to work with individuals. Even when I am working with an individual, I understand that individual in context.
