licensed clinical therapist

From experiencing difficulty in trusting or communicating effectively with your partner, to being unsure about your commitment to the relationship after having difficulty addressing problem areas in your relationship effectively, I am here to help!
 

It can be challenging to find a therapist who is the right fit for you or your partner.  It would be my honor and pleasure to be a guide and support to meeting your individual or couple’s needs. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space to foster a relationship of authenticity and trust. My ultimate goal is to provide you with the skills and tools needed to overcome barriers to living a happy, fulfilling life. 

 

I offer complimentary 15-minute consultations and am available to connect via email, phone,  or you can schedule an appointment at the link below. 

Couples
Therapy

Our relationships can be a source of struggle or a resource for healing. Therapy can help build essential relationship skills, reveal and repair relational patterns, create greater intimacy, and establish healthy connection.

Self-
Reflection

When relationships feel strained, the journey inward can be a powerful first step. Our approach helps you explore personal patterns impacting your connections and identify changes to foster deeper intimacy and stronger relationships.

Discernment Counseling

If you or your spouse are considering divorce but are not completely sure that’s the best path, Discernment Counseling is designed for you. It’s a chance to slowdown, take a breath, and look at your options for your marriage.

My Approach

My approach is to treat the whole person by treating the mind, body, and soul simultaneously. I am a big picture thinker, and I find it helpful to bring an objective world view to the therapy space. I am easy-going, direct, and enjoy bringing a sense of humor to the room when appropriate. I believe in educating and empowering my clients with the skills and tools needed to face any feeling, problem, or situation. My utmost priority is to build a strong rapport with my clients in a safe and nurturing environment.
