I offer individual and couples counseling for teens and adults.
Sometimes life feels out of balance or just "off." While we may or may not know why we feel this way, it is difficult to navigate next steps alone. We just want to feel better but aren't sure how. I am passionate about the power of the therapeutic relationship and the growth that can occur when we take the time to nurture our minds. As you begin to understand your story and how that relates to the ways in which you interact with and experience the world, change and growth can (and will) occur. I have experienced the positive impact of quality counseling in my own life, and I work hard to provide this for each of my clients.

I have expertise treating a variety of concerns including trauma, addiction (including sex addiction), marital difficulties, relationship problems, child behavior, grief, anxiety, depression, and co-dependency.
Are your relationships broken, and you are wondering, "How did it ever get to this point?" Or have you ever thought: "If people knew this about me, they would shun me?" What if you are anxious and/or depressed? If we are brutally honest, most of what hurts us comes down to this question: "Am I worthy enough to be loved; to be known?" I want you to know you are not alone! There is hope! Because here is the truth, most everyone is worthy to be loved and known, you just have to learn to believe it!

Together, we can establish the therapeutic relationship to work through your presenting problem, and to give you the tools you need to cope with your past, present, or future circumstances.
Life is full of events that help shape who we are. Some events that occur in our lives leaves us feeling hurt, alone, helpless, overwhelmed and can even bring us to question who we are or what we believe in. We are often left to cope with these events on our own. Many individuals self-medicate in a variety of ways to help cope, and get through life. Though self-medication can be a temporary solution, they are not void of lasting consequences that can negatively affect you or your relationships.

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.
