Life never seems to go how we hope or expect. Sometimes we need someone to hear us and help guide us to where we need or want to be. My job is to listen to you. I can help create goals, work through some issues, or discover why you have a behavior pattern. I specialize in couples therapy, those tough times during a divorce, or rebuilding your life after a divorce.

I believe that at any age, any person can benefit from having an intentional space to reflect on their goals and challenges in life in order to heal and grow into a more self-compassionate and authentic version of themselves. I am passionate about creating a space where clients feel validated and empowered to meet their goals. I use a collaborative approach where the client and I both contribute to the nature and direction of our sessions, going at the client’s pace and figuring out what challenges or concerns that take priority each session.

In life’s journey, we are all met with obstacles to overcome. Sometimes they are small ant hills that we can step over, sometimes they are small hills that we struggle to get over, and sometimes they can feel like insurmountable mountains. For each of us, our hills and mountains (and how they feel) might be different. Sometimes those ant hills can feel like a mountain as well. It may feel like you do not have the tools to get over those obstacles safely and securely. If you are ready to get those tools, then this may be the next step on your journey to healing.

You just made the first step toward making a change in your life! Throughout our lives, we experience emotions such as anxiety, anger, sorrow, shame, depression, or worthlessness. Often they are the result of the loss of a loved one, unresolved conflict (at home, on the job &/or within oneself), trauma, loneliness or isolation. I believe that what we perceive as problems are really opportunities to make lasting improvements in ourselves and to become more fully human. Life is a series of transitions; we are all a work in progress, and can often benefit from help along the way.
