Making a decision to begin counseling can bring hope and relief, and also be scary or intimidating. My desire is to create a safe and comfortable refuge where you can explore and express feelings, identify solutions, and grow in your ability to develop healthy, supportive relationships. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I partner with individuals and couples to reach their goals, and have over 18 years of experience working with people of any age, including teens, children, and retirees.

My biggest goal is to help you feel safe and supported, so that you can feel free to explore thoughts and feelings in an open and non-judgmental way. I am very interactive in sessions, so that you will learn and be able to practice new and helpful skills. As a marriage and family therapist, I also have a unique perspective to help you understand relationship dynamics and develop trust and intimacy with partners, family, and friends.

I strive to empower you to utilize your existing strengths while developing new skills that are solidly based in science and research. Understanding ways in which our thoughts impact our emotions will allow you to develop a helpful, healing way of thinking, and understanding the way the brain works with the body can also help you implement activities and coping skills to reduce anxiety and depression.
