The reason your marriage feels hopeless is only because you don't have the complete strategy yet. There's a scientifically proven way to handle conflict and reconnect. Many couples like to avoid conflict altogether and the result is that problems don't get solved and hidden resentment drives people apart. I will teach you what you never learned in school about how to make your marriage a source of greater joy and less stress. I help people find their voice and learn how to share it in a loving way to solve problems. I help couples with a variety of things beyond communication like infidelity and addictions, including pornography.

Life is a beautiful, crazy, and hard journey. Having a chronic illness myself, I understand how traumatic and challenging it can be. My diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes was the worst day of my life. I've grown a lot since then and adapted to my new life, and I get how impactful chronic illness is mentally, physically, and relationally. There is so much more to you than just your disease and other challenges; you are not defined by your problems. There will always be highs and lows in life, in relationships, in simply being human. I will help you learn how to respond to and move forward with hard things.

Is your trauma or excessive worrying getting in the way of you living your best life? Are you a parent who is heartbroken because your child has experienced trauma? You, or your child, deserves to find your own unique healing journey that provides peace and a future you love. Trauma can often make us feel stuck in the past. Many people wonder if therapy will even help or if it is too late! You may find yourself not wanting to try therapy because you don't want to rehash the past or relive it. I don’t believe therapy has to be this way. In fact, therapy can be about us creating a future that you are excited to have.
