I specialize in relationship issues, communication, self-esteem, codependent parents, individualization/differentiation, empowerment, self-acceptance, sandwich generation, & more.
Yes, you have survived until now in spite of these challenges, but that doesn’t mean that you have to continue this way. You deserve the life you want. I too wonder what YOU could achieve if you stopped feeling ashamed, powerless or silenced. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and hopefully we can work together to finally reach them.

I believe deeply in the power of therapy, and the human capacity to heal, grow, or adapt to new environments and challenges. I want to help people find their best selves and know that they don’t have to continue to live in ways that aren’t meeting their needs. I am open to meeting with a wide variety of clients, ages 18+, to find the ways that they might need assistance in moving forward. That might involve reexamining old beliefs, healing trauma, working through grief, finding motivation, or just finding a path that fits you. I’m excited to walk with you on this journey.

I've worked with trauma in relationships for 20 years.
It’s Not the Problems You Have—It’s How You Solve Them.
With 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that healing isn't about erasing the past; it’s about understanding how it shaped you. Inspired by the work of Gabor Maté, I help you look beneath the "symptoms" of stress and conflict to find the underlying wounds—and the path to resilience and empowerment.
Transform your Triggers into self mastery! Are your ready to fundamentally shift how you feel.
Let’s work together to discover you’re held beliefs and patterns, releasing the old wounds to become the conscious curator of your life.

As a clinical psychologist trained as an integrationist, I enjoy working with people from a holistic perspective. I believe it is important to consider not only what is going on in the present, but also what has happened developmentally, biologically, interpersonally,and cognitively. In addition to conceptualizing our experiences as people from a systems perspective, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy using a DBT-informed frame of practice. What this means is that change comes about by learning new behaviors in a variety of contexts while balancing the reality of a person's situation and skill level with acceptance.

personal, environmental, or within relationships, can affect positive change within any individual and system.
My training and practice is based in family systems, narrative and cognitive-behavioral theories. In addition, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which specializes in helping children and adults heal from trauma. My use of EMDR works to create movement and change when one feels stuck due to unresolved traumas.

I've been helping adults and children understand themselves and their relationships for over 30 years.
The process in therapy involves gaining insight into issues, patterns and relationships in your life which are unsatisfying or troubling, then examining changes you might want to make and creating a way to get there.

I believe it is important for all people to know solidly within themselves that they have value and to feel successful in their relationships.
I do Emotionally Focused Therapy which helps people see that no matter how lonely or desperate they feel, they feel both fearful and disconnected. That means that I help people understand the deeper emotions that drive their behavior and thoughts, so they can connect to others with a new perspective.

I think of my approach to helping people as a collaborative and educational one. Most people who come in for therapy are wanting to make a change in their lives but are struggling in some manor. I feel that the best way to implement change is through one's thoughts (cognitions), feelings, and behaviors-this kind of approach is known as Cognitive-Behavioral therapy (CBT).
A person needs to welcome the challenges and opportunities in his or her life with a clear and calm mind - These are the cognitive and behavioral aspects of CBT.

It's difficult to admit we are not where we want to be in our lives. It is painful when we are overwhelmed by sadness, anger, or worry. Attending counseling is an act of self-love and courage. You know yourself, and where you long to go. We work together to help you get there. Whether your distress is acute, or subtle, managed, or uncontrolled, it will lead to a lack of mental, physical and spiritual health. Unresolved anger, trauma, neglect, hurt, and family dysfunction will keep you stuck and block you from realizing your full potential.

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.
