I have extensive experience working with children and families in the educational setting addressing mental and behavioral health needs. I believe relationship building is the foundation for a child’s development. All children grow and thrive in the context of close and dependable relationships. I use a mixture of mindful practice, strengths-based, solution focused, and cognitive behavioral approaches to allow the child to process thoughts and emotions. My goal is to assist children to address and resolve problems independently with confidence.

When adversities and life changing events become too overwhelming in your life, your first instinct may be to avoid it, fight it alone, or just give up. The truth is you don’t have to avoid it, fight it alone, and you definitely don't have to give up. It’s possible to learn how to deal with the changes and challenges that are going on around you. My goal as a therapist will be to support you on finding an approach that will look at the whole-person while encouraging healing of the mind, body, and spirit by delivering humanistic person-centered approach that will help shape a meaningful guidance to empower you on your life journey.

I specialize in working with teens and adults who have experienced intimate partner violence and sexual assault.
Change is painful but nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don't belong. We often feel stuck in the life we have because we don't want to move through the uncomfortable first. You may have experienced personal trauma, secondary trauma, or a bad run of luck in life. Those moments don't define your life. Every situation is getting you closer to the person you are supposed to be. If you are wanting to understand and process the uncomfortable, you are in the right place. In therapy, we will work together to process the past, find balance in the present and move towards peace for the future.

I work with individuals, couples , families, adolescents, children, and LGBTQs. I like to delve into the depression, anxiety, or whatever is troubling you to get at and transform, moving towards a productive satisfying life. I'm good at getting at the potential, power, genius, and strength which lies within, surfacing creativity, health, and well being. Usually, when one discovers their potential it is like dropping a pebble in the calm lake, rippling goodness for all around them.

I am deeply interested in the interface between psychology and spirituality with a special focus on forgiveness, coping and mindfulness, brain-based and attachment-focused parenting, and schema focused therapy, which well equips me to assist clients facing life transition issues or relationship issues with a spiritual/depth dimension. I view psychotherapy as a venue where I can help my clients to change their beliefs, polish their perceptual lenses, adjust their relational patterns, let go of unnecessary suffering, and develop a deeper capacity for joy by learning to live more mindfully and gratefully.

I offer individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, group therapy, counseling around the loss of loved ones through death or divorce, therapy for career changes, and group training experience for graduate counseling students.
My ideal client is open to the exploration of oneself through the ritual of self-reflective storytelling. I listen and help link childhood memories to insights through psychotherapeutic interpretation. My ability to draw from personal loss and experience helps me guide others through the sometimes painful exploration of the self. I work with individuals, often supplementing with group therapy, to help them recognize and understand the obstacles in their way.

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.
