Relationships can be a source of great joy and comfort. When they get off track our life becomes unsettled and nothing feels right. I enjoy helping couples get back on track, solve conflicts and reclaim their connection.

I am an attentive listener and am invested in helping you get your relationship back on track.

It can feel lonely and isolating trying to figure things out by yourself. Therapy can be the catalyst for growth and healing in yourself and relationships with others. Sharing your story can be scary and hard, but the opportunity to find healing and change is worth it. Everyone's story and struggles are different and I will value and care for yours.

My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. I specialize in working with people who have substance use, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict issues. The approaches I use are informed by dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

Life often forces us to address challenging situations. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, marital conflict, or a multitude of other personal issues, there are solutions that can help. Counseling offers you a supportive environment where problem areas are explored and goals developed to help you get your life back on track. It's through this process and the therapeutic relationship that true personal growth, healing, and acceptance occurs. I embrace a genuine, compassionate approach coupled with the most effective, evidenced based interventions that are goal directed and solution focused.

It can be exhausting to feel stuck in life. Everyone needs somebody to help when they feel like giving up. I have a passion for helping clients create a life that is worth living. It is not just about being sober, it's about creating a life that you are excited to wake up to every morning. Addiction and low self-esteem not only damage the individual, but the family as well. I have a heart to help individuals, couples and families create strategies to overcome the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual barriers that are holding them back from truly living life.

In my personal and professional life, I have found one thing to be true: Life can be hard. I have a passion for supporting others in resolving pain and reclaiming fullness in life. While pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, suffering is optional. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples , and families heal from relational and other traumas, problematic sexual behaviors, addictions, and intimacy disorders. I see brokenhearted adults and children as they learn to cope with an unstable world. My heart is to heal the broken hearted and give hope where hope was once lost.
