"Conflict is the inflammation, disconnection is the virus." Since hearing this quote from Sue Johnson I have not seen a couple, family or individual where this does not ring true. I want to help reconnect you to those you love, while holding a healthy, non judgmental therapeutic relationship. I will work with you to identify, explore and share emotions that often times feel to vulnerable and raw. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with focus on systems and attachment theory I like to work with individuals, families and couples of all ages.

Are the communication and connection in your marriage or relationship less than ideal or missing altogether? Or maybe you have more conflict than friendship and you're just feeling stuck. Perhaps you struggle with feeling anxious or overwhelmed and you are ready for a change. I offer a free consultation to new clients to discuss how I can help you achieve your goals, even if you don't know exactly what those goals are yet. In addition to traditional sessions, I now offer intensives for couples looking to jump-start their healing. For premarital counseling, this is a fun, productive way to start your journey with a strong foundation.

We are stuck doing the same thing. It is difficult to keep going with all the chaos. We don't know what else to do! These are a few of the frustrations that many families bring to sessions. Do you love your family yet going home feels more exhausting than going to work? Is your family constantly arguing and family life feels like you are stuck in a loop? Family Therapy can help your family learn to better communicate needs and problems without criticism and rebuild relationships within the whole family.

I love to work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. My previous career as a teacher provides me with great understanding of stages of development and how to connect with children and teenagers. I can help your child and you to better understand behavioral changes, self-esteem, difficulty communicating, depression, anxiety, and stress. I have a nonjudgmental way of exploring what children and adolescents are experiencing by using their individual interests, perspectives, and solution-focused goals so that their time in therapy feels natural.
