Everyone has a story, a struggle, a painful time they go through and sometimes we need someone to help us through these times and listen to our story. Challenges and painful times are all part of our human experience and can affect anyone at any time no matter your age, gender, economic status, or where you live. These challenges and other life changes are not easy, but navigating through the changes they bring are possible. I will work with you during these challenging times to find your renewed strength & hope, and support you at where you are in your journey.

I specialize in trauma, relationship recovery (particularly from narcissistic abuse), women’s issues, parenting stress, and LGBTQIA+ support.
Finding a therapist can feel intimidating—but what if therapy felt more like a conversation with someone who truly gets it?

Having a space where you can feel comfortable sharing about your life can be powerful. Feeling seen, heard, and understood seems rare these days. Sitting alongside client’s as they navigate seasons of their lives, reflect on past versions of themselves, live within this season and bridge to their future is a blessing.

FAQ - About Couples Therapy
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.
