The therapeutic
relationship
is a major predictor of therapy's success, so getting a feel for my style is an important step on your journey.
Life can feel overwhelming. Maybe you think you have nowhere to turn. But sometimes there's relief in just being understood. I provide a comfortable and accepting safe space where you can freely share whatever you're thinking without being judged. I structure my practice around each client's individual needs because no single model can work for all people. I work with diverse populations, ranging in age from young adults to the elderly, and including clients struggling with dementia, MS, neurological disorders, and caregiving. I specialize in topics such as ADD, anxiety, chronic illness, and depression.

Life has been rough lately, and your emotions are becoming more and more overwhelming and are affecting you more often and more intensely. You're having a difficult time managing your emotions for yourself, and you feel your relationships have been impacted. Or, maybe you are a parent of a child with special needs and you are having issues dealing with the many emotions that come with this challenge. Or maybe still, someone close in your life has found a way to make anything wrong in the
relationship
your fault and well, you believe them! You may be suffering from Narcissistic Abuse.

I have experience working with both teens and adults, and enjoy working with depression, anxiety,
relationship
issues, and parenting challenges.
My primary focus as a counselor is helping clients reach their highest potential. Sometimes clients come to me when they are lost and feeling unsure what their next steps need to be. Other times clients are aware what they want their path to be, they just need encouragement and accountability to get themselves there. No matter the reason a client is coming to counseling, I work towards being one of their biggest cheerleaders.

Does life just suck right now? If just one of your problems went away what would that feel like? Would it feel like you could breathe again, maybe all of your anxiety or sadness is gone, or perhaps you are FINALLY getting the help you need from your loved ones. Trying to figure all of this out by yourself can be overwhelming, throw a life event in there such as
relationship
issues, divorce, or a change in employment, and you can lose your sense of self. I won't let that happen.

Additionally, I find a humanistic and relational approach quite beneficial -meaning that growth is fostered within the

“Running away from a problem only increases the distance from the solution.” Therapy is personal and unique and I believe your therapeutic journey should lead you to self-empowerment and positive changes in your life. My intent is to support you in discovering what stops you from living the life you have always hoped for. My approach is depth-orientated and includes a blend of traditional therapy and creative ways of optimizing a healthier new sense of Self.

through a systemic, person-centered and humanistic lens.
There are so many life experiences, transitions and "bumps" in the road that can oftentimes feel overwhelming, uncertain or impossible. Whether we have awareness of the problem, or notice that our behaviors are masking problems (fighting in relationships, unhealthy coping behaviors, etc.), we can explore these in session and determine how to overcome these challenges.

Many successful women struggle with a pattern of toxic and abusive relationships. You feel invisible, unloveable, unseen, frustrated, and angry. You aren't valuing yourself as a result of having been devalued by people close to you, and you continue to find yourself in these types of unhealthy alliances - it's a toxic pattern that leaves you depleted, anxious and depressed. I want to help women BREAK OUT OF THAT CYCLE, and shift into a vibrant life that includes rewarding work, peace, joy, and happy healthy relationships.

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.
