ADULTS
I support adults who are struggling to navigate life challenges. If you have been negatively impacted by adjustment or attachment issues, childhood trauma, abuse and/or neglect, anxiety, domestic violence, depression, divorce, grief and loss, or life transitions (job loss, moving, health diagnosis), I would like to help. Lets work together to heal the hurts, strengthen your sense of self, find inner peace, and empower you with the skills needed to maximize your potential for a more satisfying life.

MARRIAGE/COUPLES
There is nothing more important than the relationships we cultivate with others, and the most intimate relationship is the one we have with our life partner. During the life of a marriage, it is common to have a few bumps in the road; however, the strength and satisfaction of the marital relationship hinges on how well the couple deals with those bumps in the road in order to move ahead in healthy ways. I'm passionate about working with couples who want to roll up their sleeves and make changes. By learning and implementing new patterns, you and your partner can learn how to turn things around and reconnect. You can gain new skills and create new patterns to rebuild your relationship with understanding, love, and connection. Restoration is possible!
RELATIONSHIPS (non-romantic)
Relationship counseling addresses the challenges that exist with interpersonal relationships that are outside of romantic partners. These relationships can include family, friends, acquaintances, and coworkers whom you find it difficult to understand, struggle to be around, or cannot collaborate with to get things done. You do not have to get along with everyone, but there are times when you have to find ways to work with coworkers and family members because they going to continue to be in your life. Building good healthy relationships have a significant impact on how well you enjoy life. Relationship counseling can be an effective way to work through underlying issues, learn healthy ways to manage differences, and develop tools that can lead to a more harmonious connection with others. I believe the greatest wealth that can be acquired is not money, but the type of relationships we have with each other.
PARENTS
Whether you are parenting young children, teenagers, or young adults, parenting can be wonderful, and not so wonderful. Your child may be struggling with issues that are difficult for them to articulate, or too confusing for you to understand. I offer parents a safe space where you will be heard, understood, and receive unbiased guidance. What is important to parenting effectively is developing techniques and adopting a parenting style that will strengthen the parent-child bond and the well-being of the family unit. Parenting has nothing to with perfection and everything to do with how you show up for your child. You can do this!
