Whether individually or in a
relationship

Life is filled with crossroads-marriage, divorce, a new baby, an empty nest, a boomerang child. Even the most joyful ones can be challenging and at times we find we could use some support. In my practice I work to help you tap into the strengths that are within you and find your voice - your creativity, courage and compassion - so you can make healthy choices for yourself and your relationships. I enjoy working with individuals,
couples
and families and consider it a privilege to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help you rediscover hope and work toward your goals.

As a helping professional I believe that non-judgmental and empathetic therapeutic
relationship
is essential in treatment.
Facing the stressors of daily life activities can be daunting in the best of circumstances. Anxiety, depression, and past traumatic experiences can make those every day challenges seem overwhelming and insurmountable. My job as your counselor is to help you make sense of your presenting situation, support you, and walk with you through the process of healing the pain and discovering your strengths.

Though addiction is my focus, I've also worked to help people solve
relationship
conflicts and improve lines of communication.
This is a hard time. Sometimes we get stuck and need someone outside of our circle to help us figure things out. I help people to more deeply understand and change negative or addictive behaviors that are dramatically impacting their lives. Relationships can be so complicated, and trying to find different ways to communicate can feel like a mystery. I work with people struggling with all types of addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and personality disorders. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate environment where we will work together to explore areas that are causing pain, and we will find new ways to cope.

Specializations range from mindfulness approaches to stress reduction,
relationship
enhancement/attachment, positive parenting and treatment for areas such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD and trauma.
There are many reasons people seek support, and none of us is immune to the stress of coping with life's challenges. Clinicians at The Village Wellness Center work with children, teens and adults who seek therapy for issues such as stress-management, coping with difficult emotions (depression/anxiety/anger), parenting strategies,
relationship
issues and healing from trauma and loss. Together we assess the root causes of problems and collaborate to develop a treatment approach. Clinicians integrate evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and play therapy/expressive arts approaches (as appropriate).

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.
