I am passionate about working with couples whose relationships may be in crisis (broken trust; conflicted; disconnected) as well as stable marriages wanting deeper connection and relational intimacy.

The therapeutic approach I use helps build understanding and empathy that constructively leads to changes in behavioral patterns and relationship dynamics. The goal - mutual satisfaction and freedom to love one another well.

I offer a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for individuals of all ages to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is deeply rooted in the principles of person-centered therapy, which means that I believe each person has the capacity for growth and healing within themselves.

Whether working with children, adolescents, or adults, I strive to meet each individual where they are and tailor my approach to suit their unique needs.

Experiencing the benefits of connecting and collaborating with others through the therapeutic process led me to a career in counseling. My work in education, family advocacy and experience in the areas of long term illness and disability have strengthened my desire to support others in their journey.

EMDR is used for a wide variety of needs and is a powerful tool for successful outcomes. For more information, see https://www.emdria.org/page/emdr_therapy

Currently will not be accepting new clients. I believe children can be helped through a transition phase, or a traumatic event through play. Children need to be able to have their safe place to go to when many things in their life are too difficult. The age of the child does not matter (0-18) can be effected in a positive way through therapy. This can occur through multiple forms of therapy. Many of the concepts used in Play therapy can be transferred to adolescents and adults while keeping family dynamics at the focus of the therapy process.
