I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

The journey of starting and raising a family is filled with countless twists and turns.

Together we will explore struggles and develop insight into how your experiences may be impacting your current thought patterns and behaviors. We’ll also address your changing identity and expectations, develop realistic strategies to enhance your relationships, achieve your goals, and minimize difficulties in your daily life.

"You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." (A.A. Milne). Helping a client become or feel more empowered is a key approach I take in my practice.

I specialize in working with both individuals and couples. My goal is to provide maximum relief from your emotional distress as quickly as possible. Towards that end, my treatment methods are aimed at helping you to live real life more happily. You can expect to be asked "What is it that you most want to change about your life?". If you are uncertain about what you want to change then sorting out that uncertainty will be our primary initial goal. I am committed to helping you achieve a deeper understanding and an effective remedy to your problem.

When life gets challenging, it can be helpful to reach out and speak to someone who can offer you guidance and support. No matter what brings you to therapy- a career change, relationship conflict, starting college, a break-up/divorce, financial stress or grieving the loss of someone you love, therapy can help. These situations can often lead to anxiety, depression or elevated stress levels. It's important to reach out to someone who can offer you a safe space, who can listen to your story without judgment and help you figure out the next steps so you can move forward on your path to wellness.

Are you an adoptee that has experienced change or transitions in your life? Do you prematurely end a relationship before you get left? This is a trauma response due to attachment issues which are common with adoptees. Most adoptees crave a secure attachment. Unresolved trauma wrecks havoc on our ability to give, receive love. Learning to understand and unravel where this comes from can help you make progress toward not avoiding these uncomfortable thoughts.

Awareness is everything and so is attitude. Through awareness, we can change attitudes. I am passionate about working together with individuals and families during challenging times.

I believe that there is no "one-size fits all approach" to therapy, just like anything else in life. Everyone is different and have different beliefs and interests. Therefore, I think that is how people can grow, change and adapt, with new experiences or with learning more about themselves and within relationships. I also bring my true self into sessions with clients, meaning that I am not afraid to say I made a mistake or talk out loud about things within the therapeutic relationship. After all, we are all human and are continuing to learn everyday.

I specialize in helping you cope with complex life issues that may have you feeling fearful, overwhelmed, frustrated or alone. Serious and chronic illness, caregiver or workplace stress, strained relationships, veteran's readjustment, and life-stage transitions are some examples. I help you learn skills to change unhealthly thinking or behavior patterns and to understand and adapt to circumstances that affect your self-esteem, relationships and functioning. Anxiety diminishes as you become aware of options and adopt positive strategies.
