I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD.
I believe that counseling is a journey that we embark on together where one learns the tools and skills necessary to live a fulfilling life. I integrate multiple theoretical perspectives that will best fit you and the concerns you wish to work through. My most used perspective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I will focus on thought distortions that may cause you to experience any stress or discomfort. We will also attend to the behaviors and feelings that assist you in believing in these negative thought patterns.

I have experience providing both brief and long-term counseling for a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, substance and alcohol use, relationship stress, trauma and PTSD, and more.
Counseling is a voluntary and collaborative process. This requires that you be actively involved and willing to set and work toward specific goals. Counseling is a tool that individuals can use to deal with problems in a way that is best for that individual. Your counselor cannot “fix,” “cure,” or “heal” you in any way. However, unconditional acceptance, listening and understanding, professional expertise, and honest communication can help you reach your goals to achieving a happier, healthier life!

My clinical experiences include working with individuals of all ages, pre-marital couples , married couples experiencing a range of marital difficulties, and families experiencing conflicts, divorce, blending of families and other concerns.
I am passionate about working with individuals and families. I believe the client/ therapist relationship is a critical component of the therapeutic process and place emphasis on maintaining a nonjudgmental, caring, and safe environment for my clients. My compassion and use of evidence-based research models provide a space for me to empower and support clients. I believe that the therapy process is collaborative, both therapist and client work together to develop strategies and tools to help clients transition through stressful times. Using both long and short-term therapy approaches, I create an individual approach for clients.

Child & adolescent clinicians, career counselors, and couples & family therapy specialists allow for a variety of services under one roof.
No two therapeutic journeys are alike. They reflect the unique interactions of the individuals involved in the process. Therapist and patient enter into a relationship through which, when things go well, "more" becomes possible: more life, more love, more play, more feelings, more thought, more choice, more reflection. Specializing in work with adult survivors of childhood & adolescent sexual abuse, I combine psychodynamic, developmental, and trauma perspectives. The past can truly become past and the present freed to become reflective of the genuine talents, hopes, yearnings of the person with whom I journey.

Within my practice as a therapist I use a person centered and strengths based approach to meet clients where they are. In my experiences with youth and adults, I have learned that everyone desires to feel heard and seen, and often when those needs aren’t met, they may lead to unhealthy habits or a lack of healthy coping skills. Primarily I work within family systems, couples , and individuals throughout transitions or during pregnancy and postpartum periods. During therapy I assist clients in developing healthy coping skills, reframe negative thoughts, and create attainable goals.

I work with adult individuals/ couples presenting with relationship issues describing symptoms of anxiety, anger, infidelity, depression, addiction, chronic illness/pain, grief, shame, low self-worth.
Do your relationships repeat the same frustrating circles? Are moments of joy fewer than moments of anger, confusion, heartache or pain? Unwittingly, you learn about yourself and how to be in relationships by watching others. What you believe you see influences the majority of your choices. If your relationships aren't healthy, neither are you. My clients feel hurt and frustrated in their relationships, presenting with questions like why and what next. Exploring those feelings and discovering what they uncover about past and present patterns and beliefs, you can work toward finding authenticity, truth and healing.

My approach to counseling is to help each individual understand their inner parts -- those aspects with their own ways of thinking, feeling, or believing, some of which we like and some of which we don't. Our parts can pull us in different directions or keep us from achieving our goals. One part may want to leave a relationship while another part wants to stay. One part may want to change jobs while another wants stability. We may also have parts with feelings we don't fully understand, like anger, hopelessness, or anxiety. We may wonder why these feelings can be so intense at times.

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.
