My aim is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship you can trust.
I currently have a waitlist. I wish you well on your journey. My approach to psychotherapy involves "walking with" you on your journey. The journey would include developing increased self awareness and symptom reduction, which would allow for a fuller experience in one's life. One may also experience increased self empathy throughout the journey. I emphasize the importance of each person's unique early and current experiences. Many individuals I have worked with have concerns involving: trauma, attachment, relationships, identity, life transitions, mood, anxiety, dissociative, personality, & reality.

I counsel adults, couples , & families.
I believe the problems that direct clients into counseling are emotional, physical, and spiritual. Therefore, the whole person must be addressed and treated as a unique and complex individual. As a Christian therapist, I help clients get to the root causes of their distress and assist them to find answers by using solution focused therapy. While some long-term therapy is a necessity I take pride in helping people set goals and objectives to find answers to their issues and struggles. Discover your hidden strengths and find an inner peace that brings stability amidst your storm.

**VIRTUAL THERAPY ONLY** Why Online Couple's Therapy? One of the most discouraging parts of couple's therapy is the amount of time couples wait before seeking help. On average, couples wait six years before seeking assistance and by then, much damage has been done. To make couples ' therapy less daunting, I have removed the hurdles of traffic, childcare, stress, parking, coordinating schedules, and travel time. Relax in the comfort of your own home and join me for therapy through the wonders of the internet.

Throughout my 30 years of practice, I have gained much experience in working with issues unique to children, adults, families and couples , such as mood disorders, anxiety, grief, loss, conflict, identity, and stage of life issues.
As a psychotherapist, I believe that each of us holds the capacity to utilize our personal creativity to resolve life's challenges. I seek to assist the folks I work with to find their strengths. I utilize a number of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Interactive Guided Imagery, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and elements of Internal Family Systems and psychological astrology. Upon the initial therapy session, we will work together to determine the most beneficial modality for you, your family, or your child. In addition, I may suggest expressive arts as a vehicle to create life changes.

I have extensive experience and training in couples work, coparenting after divorce, trauma, attachment issues, meaning-of-life questions, and substance abuse.
Living means encountering challenges along the way. All of us have a drive toward living full, happy, successful lives, and sometimes we can get overwhelmed by events and find ourselves in over our head. When life becomes too much to handle on our own, a compassionate, insightful and supportive relationship is invaluable to assist us in getting back on our feet or back on track. Whether you feel worn down over time by life, or beat down by major events, I create a safe and positive space for examining your strengths and values to move forward into a brighter future.

When you look in the mirror, you struggle to love the image reflected back to you. Your body holds painful stories that keep you feeling defective, unloved, and hidden. In an effort to dial back the pain, you've tried critiquing and shaming your body into changing, but it didn't work. And it just left you feeling more broken, alone, and frustrated. You want to learn how to stop the war with your body, heal the parts of you that are hurting, and gain a sense of freedom. What would it be like to be present in your body and begin to create a new relationship with your body that allows you to wholeheartedly flourish and heal?

I have significant experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I use a strength based perspective believing that each one of us have inherent strengths that can help us manage life. My framework is based on trauma and attachment approaches which emphasize that the stress an individual experiences is usually rooted in a traumatic event that has formed negative beliefs, dysruption of lifestyle, change in family system, or that has helped to develop a less than satisfying parent child relationship . My ideal client is an individual that wants to have a happier life or a family or couple that wants more peace.

Couples Counseling Therapists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
