You may look like you have it all together, but inside you're overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying more than anyone realizes. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, caregiver stress, and life transitions. Whether you're healing from painful experiences, navigating relationship struggles, or tired of always being the one others depend on, I offer a warm, practical, evidence-based approach that includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I offer traditional therapy and intensives.
Using ART and EMDR, I help clients reprocess painful experiences without revisiting every detail. I also help distressed couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly researched approach for building secure connections and increasing relationship satisfaction. I offer premarital counseling as a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.
Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been carrying pain, trauma, or relationship struggles for a long time. You don’t have to face it alone. I provide a warm, supportive space to help you heal, gain practical tools, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. Let's work together to help you.

I use a blend of evidence-based treatments tailored to you. The first few sessions focus getting to know you and you deciding if I am the right counselor for you. Do you feel like I see you, hear you, and understand you? Two factors have the greatest influence on counseling success: 1) How motivated you are to do the work of counseling and 2) the rapport you have with your therapist. Let's talk.
