As a Marriage & Family Therapist/Counselor my goal is to provide families, couples and individuals with a safe environment where they can explore themselves and the possibility of change within their life and their relationships. Our lives are centered on relationships with others. Relationships are the building blocks of life; but, they can also be very debilitating. When those relationships become troubled, sometimes assistance from family and friends may not be enough to find balance within yourself or other relationships. Lucky for us, there are people who have dedicated their lives to helping others along their journey.

You have a story, and it makes sense that you feel, believe, act and react as you do. Change and growth rarely occur in anything that resembles a straight line and being mean to yourself really does not help. If you want to believe these statements but are finding it difficult, I would love an opportunity to meet with you. I am a fully licensed psychologist and enjoy working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns. I believe that therapy occurs within a partnership where together we will make educated decisions about how to approach your goals based on your specific life circumstances, needs, values, and strengths.

Feeling overwhelmed? Choosing a therapist (on top of all that you're navigating!) can feel like its own stressful task. By working together, we'll help you feel better after the first session. Life's challenges are complex--with a back story of pain and joy that brings us to the current moment. We can keep our focus on working through what you're facing now and/or talk through what's brought you here. I'm eager to partner with individuals who are ready to feel better, sooner.

I am providing services at this time online. I offer individual psychotherapy and counseling. I care deeply about my profession and my clients. I would like to be of help to you during any difficult time. However, I am not accepting new clients, due to health problems. I will revise this to let you know when I am able to see clients again. Thank you for considering me as your therapist.

I provide a range of services including but not limited to: How to manage and cope with stress, anger, depression, anxiety, heartbreak, life transitions, parenting and family issues and college/education stress. As well as, how to process, work through and find healing after a loss. I love working with couples and helping them gain better problem-solving skills, have more meaningful communication, and to help them create a deeper emotional connection with each other. If preferred by the Client, I also offer faith-based therapy.
