You're probably dealing with some difficult issues, being human is hard. I get it; life isn’t always easy to navigate and being human can be hard at times. I want you to know you are not alone, though I know it often feels like you are, boy do I know. I'm here to support you if you decide to give me the opportunity and if it not, I'll still attempt to support you somehow. I like to start weekly to build rapport and trust or every other week if needed because my main belief is in the therapeutic alliance/relationship. I strongly believe my role as a therapist, metaphorically speaking is this: you are the author, and I am the editor.

Now accepting new clients. My foundation is that counseling is, above all, a collaborative relationship. I strive to see the world through my client’s eyes. Empathic understanding, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard are the core attributes of my Humanistic approach to counseling. With curiosity, openness, and creativity, I help clients identify negative patterns in their lives and find practical solutions when appropriate — working alongside them in a spirit of shared humanity as challenges are addressed and possibilities for inspired ways of relating to the self, others, and difficult circumstances are explored.

Many of the women I work with are the ones everyone relies on. After losing a spouse, parent, or caregiving role, they’re still showing up for work and family—but inside feel untethered, exhausted, and quietly unraveling. Often highly sensitive and deeply caring, they’re not used to being the one who needs support. They want space to grieve honestly, without pressure to “move on,” and help finding steadiness and meaning in a life that feels forever changed.

Are you feeling more like roommates than romantic partners? Maybe you’re stuck in painful cycles of miscommunication, lingering silences, or arguments that leave you both wondering, “What are we even fighting about?” or “What happened to us?”
As a couples counselor and marriage counselor, I often meet partners overwhelmed by resentment, the mental load, or patterns that make connection feel difficult. Many couples seek couples counseling for emotional disconnection, communication breakdowns, or a loss of intimacy. When these issues go unresolved, couples often feel lonely in the relationship they hoped would feel like home.
