Part of the healing process is being listened to and understood. I help you see more clearly what has been happening and what that may mean for you, providing a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. Together, we work to help you move from wherever you're stuck.
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In therapy for relationship and marital issues, I provide support to couples to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond. This involves creating a safe and respectful space for both partners to express their feelings and concerns. Through communication exercises and conflict resolution techniques, we work on improving communication skills and addressing underlying issues. I also help couples rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and rediscover shared values and goals. The goal is to foster healthier patterns of interaction and enhance overall relationship satisfaction.
Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Are your life and relationships unfulfilling? Can't let go of past hurts? Using sex or the internet to avoid others or painful emotions? Nothing gets better no matter what you try? Maybe it's time for a change!

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find {with awareness and compassion} all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Rumi So much of my work with couples comes back to this quote. When we are aware of those barriers within ourselves we can get a lot further a lot faster than details of daily life that so quickly distract us from our true work.
