My specialization is in positive existential & creative therapy for adult couples & individuals with relationship challenges, life transitions & anxiety.
Life is a journey. Your journey and personal life experiences mean everything- the blessings as well as the traumas. When there are unhealed wounds of the past, it is hard to feel safe in the world, secure with ourselves or in relationships with others. As a result, we often experience anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I offer a gentle, non-intrusive, compassionate and safe space for you to begin the healing process to live your most meaningful life. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

The relationship between client and therapist is crucial.
If you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. - Laotse. Many of us can relate to this quote. In fact, many of the individuals I see now have suffered from a tremendous amount of pain. I want to join you in your healing journey, reaching a feeling of peace and comfort. Give yourself the permission to tell your story and BE HEARD. As your therapist I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment to really begin this process. I have no doubt in your ability to be at peace. I want to reinforce your strength, potential, & worth.

Working with Individuals, Couples and Families around a variety of issues is a gift and an honor. Seeking professional help takes courage and strength and is a choice that I deeply respect. While some clients are struggling with long-term issues that are affecting their daily lives, others are seeking a confidential space to talk through a specific relationship issue or difficult life stage. Regardless of the issue, my goal is to work cooperatively with clients to help facilitate their personal, emotional, physical and spiritual growth. My goal is for clients to leave my office feeling respected, heard, understood, & empowered.

Relationships are the clients I am most passionate about working with. I thrive on facilitating healing and growth in the sacred space between two people, that special connection that can be so energizing and vital. I have discovered the joy of seeing not only relationships heal and grow, but also partners in relationships. Your relationship offers great potential for you and your partner . You were wounded in relationships earlier in life; we all were. Here is the good news: you can heal in your current relationship and so can your partner . The two of you can do the hard work; I can help!

I work with individuals, couples and those who are de/reconstructing their religion/spirituality, or experiencing distress, trauma or pleasure related challenges that are caused by harmful religious experiences.
All of us have a story - and we all tell stories. I believe that the stories we tell about ourselves and others hold a heavy hand in our quality of life and the way that we view the world around us. I am passionate about counseling because I yearn to create space where others feel safe to explore and discover their authentic self – to feel heard, seen, and known. Throughout our sessions, I will create space for every part of you and will help you to discover and re-write the stories that no longer serve you.

I would be honored to partner with you on the path of self-discovery and growth.
We all experience obstacles in life that can be difficult to maneuver. Sometimes, this can leave us feeling stuck. Other times, the skills that we use to keep us safe and help us cope become the very things that create challenges in our lives. As someone who has struggled through many of life’s transitions myself, I know that the work of change isn’t always easy. My vision for therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that allows each person to feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted.

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.
