The stress of a troubled marriage can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, and depression. When your body is in a state of high tension day after day and year after year, the effects can be devastating. Your body takes a beating. Successful marriages are the result of a couple intentionally behaving in a way that every decision they make is to preserve, enrich and enhance their marriage. They have a common vision for this marriage and a common belief system of how to get there. We'll teach you excellent communication and problem-solving skills. When confronting your partner, you'll both learn to speak in a softer, kinder tone of voice. Statements like "you, you, you!" only make your partner feel angry and frustrated. Instead, try saying "I feel," and "I would like," but remember, keep your partner's dignity in tact. Once you change the way you communicate, you'll find that your partner responds differently too. We'll teach you what to say and do to keep the argument from escalating. Soon you'll learn how to resolve conflicts more easily and will find them far less frightening. You'll learn how to: Understand and comfort your partner even when you disagree . Tell your partner what you want instead of expecting your partner to know. Stand your ground when it matters. Show support for your partner's goals. Listen to your partner with your heart. Understand how a sincere intention to change can make a significant difference in your marriage.

I’m a warm, holistic, and empowering therapist who believes healing is possible when we feel truly seen and supported. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and I integrate psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches to meet each client where they are. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and bipolar condition, and I also support clients working through grief, family dynamics, cultural identity, and relationship challenges. My style is collaborative and compassionate. I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strengths. In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful balance of insight, structure, and emotional safety. My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence.

I have been in practice for over 20 years. I provide mental health support services, offering comprehensive services including biopsychosocial assessments, interventions, and follow-up services for medication management. I treat mood, trauma, and stress conditions. I also have experience with healthcare-related diagnoses and stressors, including prenatal and postpartum conditions, and loss. I utilize various therapeutic methods, including attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed approaches, and family systems theory.

No matter why you are seeking therapy, I believe everyone is capable of growth and change. If you are looking to be a better version of yourself, we can take that journey together. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues, or past trauma. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-focused. During your first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and your expectations and goals. We will then work together to form a roadmap to meet those goals. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with a person-centered orientation. These techniques will help challenge your existing beliefs in a safe and supportive space and will help you to learn strategies to live your best life. Starting therapy can be hard and takes a lot of courage. If you are interested in taking that step and think we could work well together, please reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment or book directly with the link on my website. I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together is right for you.

Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.
