Is the communication in your marriage or relationship missing the mark? Do you feel unheard, unappreciated, or disregarded? Is the structure or hierarchy in your marriage or family unbalanced? Loving yourself and feeling empowered in your marriage, family or relationships can create a positive shift with the right guidance and a place to process the complexities we face in our relationships. I work with couples, families, individuals, and teenagers struggling with communication issues, suicidal ideation, self-harm, trauma, grief, substance use disorders, process addictions, and sexual issues. The solutions are there. Let's find them!

I help clients identify their best hopes for each session and tailor the treatment plans to the individual, family, or couple. I actively listen to my client's story and help them establish what difference it would make in their life if they had their best hope come true. My interventions and techniques empower clients to form their solutions and detach from the problem.

If you are reading this, you are taking the first step towards healing. Finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I listen with empathy and strive to help my clients find their voice and their personal, unique solutions moving forward. I offer in-person and telehealth sessions in a relaxing, soft setting with some evening appointments available.
