You have likely experienced times you have felt that you cannot do what you need to do in order to get things done. You want to see progress and movement towards that which you desire, however you feel stuck. Sometimes, there are obstacles in your way, there may be difficulties you face, and usually there are choices you have to make. This is where therapy comes in and helps you to increase your access to those tools in your bag that are likely already within your reach. Collaboratively, we can identify what is holding you back while also increasing resourcefulness to help you reach your goals.

You love each other, so why does it feel this hard? Why does every conversation turn into the same fight, shutdown, or distance? I work with couples and individuals stuck in painful relationship patterns, constant conflict, disconnection, or trust issues. Many come in exhausted, repeating the same cycles and unsure how to fix it. Together, we get underneath what’s really driving those patterns, help you communicate in ways that actually land, and create real change so you can feel more connected, secure, and understood, even if you need to attend individually.

Clients come to me in trying times for help dealing with issues like depression, grief, anger and marriage issues. I don't see myself as the "expert" who is going to provide all the "answers" but I do promise to walk with my clients as they address the issues we identify together that they want to in therapy. I am comfortable working one on one, or with couples and families from age 6 to adults. I'm also a Pastor and a Chaplain so I have been theologically trained and can explore spiritual issues and crises as a pastoral counselor.
