Are you ready to take ownership over your healing from past hurts? Feel willing to work towards change to create the life you want? I enjoy working with teens and adults who are ready and willing to work towards change, who take the lead in the healing process and recognize that I, as a therapist, can provide tools, but they must do the hard work of using these tools if they want to grow and to heal.

Whether your family life feels chaotic, you have past trauma, or a recent loss, counseling is a big next step in moving forward. It takes a bit of energy, but many of us have put a lot of energy toward fixing our lives already and found that it's much easier to do with the help of others. Counselors don't have all the answers, but we can often help you identify patterns of behavior, unhelpful thoughts, or even help you more clearly understand what is going on. Sometimes we need practical advice or information and other times we just need a listening ear to help us process.

I've trained under renowned family therapist Louise Guerney in order to provide the most successful and practical relationship and/or parental enhancement possible for you as a couple.
