Nobody could have prepared you for the pain of being in a high conflict sexless marriage. Either you try to bring up sensitive subjects that lead to an argument or you avoid important topics altogether to keep the peace. The resentment is building and you are beginning to ask yourself if you are headed towards a divorce. I'd love to help you develop communication skills that lead your marriage back to solid group.

Tell me more about you, and how I can help. My clients often say they feel seen and truly heard in our work together. I’m committed to creating a space where your story is met with care, honesty, and respect. So many of us carry the belief that being hard on ourselves will lead to growth—but more often, it deepens shame and disconnect. I believe lasting change begins with compassion. My goal is to help you better understand what’s happening beneath the surface so you can feel more grounded, empowered, and at ease in your life.

People seek to be understood, not judged, and accepted. This is critical for the therapeutic process to have its maximum benefit. The recovery of the soul is a process that requires patience on both sides and mutual trust. Without trust, the therapeutic process will be limited in its objectives and outcome.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or invisible as a caregiver—or as a sibling of someone with special needs? Living in a family impacted by special needs can be emotionally exhausting. Parents and caregivers often carry constant worry, guilt, and stress, while siblings may feel overlooked, confused, or pressured to “be the strong one.” Anxiety can quietly take over, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to cope. I work with adults and teens, including parents, caregivers, and siblings of individuals with special needs, who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout.

Throughout my many years serving a young adult/adult population, I have gained a great respect for working collaboratively with each client to understand the most effective approach for the individual. My approach involves providing a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment in which we can gain a greater awareness of the individual's unique concerns and work from this awareness to affect change in the present.

You deserve a relationship that feels like a sanctuary, and a life where your identity isn’t a source of stress. If you are navigating the complexities of LGBTQ+ identity, feeling disconnected from your partner, or struggling with an "anxious mind" that won't quiet down, I see you. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are tired of explaining their lived experiences to others. Whether you are facing queer-specific relationship challenges or the weight of social anxiety, I provide an affirming space where you can stop "performing" and start healing.

All of us, at one time or another, can struggle with life’s challenges. Sometimes we need a little help, guidance, or skills to overcome these obstacles. I believe in the importance of allowing others the space to tell their story, within a safe, calm, compassionate environment. As we all are different no single approach is right for everyone, therefore my practice method is integrative, evidenced-based practices, tempered with some creativity. I favor a combination of therapeutic approaches including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy.
