I am an advocate for empowering secret-holders to let go of their burdens to create new freedom. Whether it's dealing with the shame of substance abuse issues, fear surrounding sexual identity concerns, underlying dread from childhood traumas, or ongoing guilt of "forgotten crimes" from the past. I offer a safe space to put your story to rest. Working together, we create a new story that gives you authenticity, community, and possibility.
I combine 5 years of experience with substance abuse counseling with 9 years of experience collaborating with people confronted by childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and other diagnoses. I specialize in interpersonal communication skills, (parent/child employee/employer spouse/partner). I enjoy working with couples.
I have a special interest in helping couples communicate better, especially in complex situations such as faith, sex, and substances. I also am an advocate for LGBTQ individuals, specifically when they have conflicts with their faith backgrounds.

I completed Level Three of Gottman Training for Couples Counseling and have spent over 200 hours assisting couples with their communication issues. I rely on the Gottman Relationship Checkup to assess a starting point for conversation. I also have studied several other therapeutic styles for couples therapy to maintain a well-rounded perspective. LGBT issues and faith issues are both welcome.

For couples, I start with the Gottman Relationship Checkup to provide a reference for what couples want to work on. I am Gottman-trained, but also use CBT, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative therapy using Internal Family Systems Theory. I practice being straightforward about tough issues. Family Therapy is an option.
