I have been a therapist and counselor for over 15 years. I work with people who have a DEEP desire for change in relationship to why they are coming in for counseling.
I specialize in helping people work through their personal issues such as;
marriage
problems, depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, mood disorders, sexual issues, communication issues, career/life coaching, parenting coaching, dysfunctional relationships, or any other behavior problems that are interfering with a normal or higher quality of life.

Some of my current interests include working with people facing problems with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, as well as
marital
, family and peer relationship difficulties.
I place importance on being approachable, thoughtful, sensitive and direct. In therapy, I think it is valuable to focus on both past and present experiences. Looking at your history can help us understand what sets of beliefs, about yourself and the world, might be holding you back from having a better experience in life - and what makes these beliefs so powerful. Examining current behaviors and interactions allows for reflection and adjustment of unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviors impeding your success and personal satisfaction.

I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or the stresses of life's transitions (grief, mid-life changes, or just difficulty getting to the "next step").

I provide mental health counseling, life coaching, pre-
marriage
and
marriage counseling
, and addiction therapy using a short term, existential approach.
I believe we all are meant to live an inspired life, and with a little work, we can break through the obstacles that hinder or keep us from thriving. Sometimes those obstacles may define themselves as depression, anxiety, or obsessions. If you are feeling stuck in a routine life, if your present relationship is not moving forward, if the behavior and actions you use to cope with stress have trapped you, maybe it is time for a change. I work with individuals, couples, and
marriage
partners who want to reach a higher potential in their life.

You've been struggling with maintaining a balanced and happy life due to feelings of depression and/or anxiety. You may have started to self-medicate with alcohol and/or drugs to ease your stress. You are scared that if you continue to practice your negative self-talk, constant worrying, or substance abuse it will further affect your relationships,
marriage
, self-esteem, health, career, and happiness. You deserve to live a balanced life without the need to self-medicate and practice unhealthy coping skills that don't work! What's at stake is enabling yourself to live in a state of self-doubt, disappointment, and worry.

I have a special interest in trauma informed care, substance abuse counseling, self-esteem issues,
marriage
and family counseling, and grief counseling.
I find it a privilege to assist clients in their journey through life’s challenges and guiding them towards self awareness and personal growth. Since I understand that therapy can be a vulnerable place, I take pride in helping clients find joy and healing in the therapy process. I approach each client with “unconditional positive regard” and structure each session with the individual’s needs in mind. I believe that by facilitating a nurturing environment with a client centered focus, it enhances the healing process as it relates to trauma, unresolved grief, and abuse that underlies many mental health issues.

How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
