I am passionate about couple's counseling. I specialize in pre-marital counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship coaching. I utilize PACT: “Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy" to help couples move towards the mutual goal of "secure functioning". This is an evidence-based model of therapy built upon the premise of “surviving and thriving" together throughout the course of your relationship. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all gender identities and relationship styles who seek help. I believe that every couple, no matter the circumstance, deserves a chance for security and repair.

Are you tired of not feeling good enough? Are you wanting to understand why you’re your own biggest critic? Are you seeking therapy in hopes to create a life of fulfillment, authenticity and balance? Maybe you’ve found yourself time again wondering why you feel stuck. Whether it’s your job, relationships or lifestyle, you continuously feel like something is amiss. You may wonder why fear or stress play such a heavy role in your life. Thinking about the past, or even the future, keeps you from being present in the moment. You wonder if the stories you tell yourself are holding you back from greater potential.

I am passionate about helping individuals become aligned with the truest version of themselves. Underneath layers of shame, rejection, trauma & societal expectations lies a version of you that is untouched by these harmful experiences and wants to be seen.

I will help you to identify your inherent strengths, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and navigate how to change internal & external parts of your life that are not serving you.

My goal is to see to it that by the end of therapy you leave with a whole range of new insights, skills, and confidence leading you to a more fulfilled and comfortable life. Therapy is an investment in the quality of your life. I believe it should result in valuable new ways to be with yourself and others. I help people who feel stuck, lost, and overwhelmed, or are having difficulties with relationships or harmful patterns of behavior. I'm predominantly existential, relational, and humanistic and teach a mindfulness-like process. My clients feel supported and heard, but also learn effective tools toward building the life they want.

I compassionately welcome those working through life transitions, experiencing depression, anxiety, and those who have been impacted by the effects of traumatic experiences. Often times individuals struggling are feeling disconnected from their authentic self, their creativity, and spirituality. As well as feeling disconnected from family/friends, romantic partners, and communities. I am passionate about working with individuals to find/regain their light, love, vitality, and connection.

If you've found yourself here, then I imagine you are looking for support to make a change in your life. It can be so challenging when you are shifting through all of these profiles to understand who can help you and how. It is true, there is not one counselor that is a great fit for each person. However, with over 14 years of therapist experience, I have seen that therapy REALLY works! I have also noticed that underneath a lot of anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship concerns is trauma. I specialize in working with trauma using EMDR. I help people move from a life of pain to one where they experience thriving.

In-Person Availability-> Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. As your therapist it is my job to make you highly aware of your purpose by deeply attuning to your true self. Often times we lose sight of who we truly are whether it be in relationships, status, external pressures. I work with young adults to retirees, business owners, women disempowered in relationships, men disempowered by the system, to restore your inherent self-worth and capabilities. My "style" is to reflect back who you are using socratic questioning and cognitive therapy, reprocessing deeply held trauma in the brain through EMDR therapy, and other methods of resourcing.
