Individual Counseling

Do you feel like you’re carrying invisible wounds that no one else can see?

Are you tired of being your own harshest critic, even when you’re doing your best?

Does it seem impossible to break free from old patterns, no matter how hard you try?

What if you could finally feel worthy of love and belonging—just as you are, even when you "mess up"?

If these questions resonate, you’re not alone. I help individuals, couples, and parents—especially those shaped by childhood trauma—who are ready to stop 'getting by' and start truly living a life filled with love and connection.

I believe each of us carries an inner wisdom that can guide us toward healing and wholeness. By centering how our identities, histories, and current environments shape our experiences and perceptions, we not only gain compassion, but clarity about steps forward.

People come to see me because they are stuck in dysfunctional patterns, going through visible or invisible transitions, feeling a sense of disconnection or fear, and are wanting to cultivate tools for resilience, emotional regulation, insight, and change.

I love creating warm, accepting, and deeply compassionate spaces of belonging where all parts of you are welcome - your stories, your struggles, your strengths, and your uncertainties. Through honest dialogue and deep presence, we’ll walk toward greater clarity and connection with your authentic self, values, and your truth. My intention is to help you cultivate the tools you need to walk through the phases and stages of your life with grace, compassion, honesty, integrity, and mutual respect.

My Approach

Couples/Relationship Counseling

If you feel caught in familiar cycles - reaching out, pulling back, feeling unseen or alone - you’re not broken. These patterns often echo old survival strategies, shaped by longing for safety and connection. In our work together, we’ll gently explore the roots of these struggles and create a space where new ways of relating can emerge that are grounded in trust, authenticity, and the closeness you both deserve.

If you and your significant other are longing to feel closer, to reconnect, or to break free from painful patterns that leave you feeling distant or unseen, you've found the right place. In our work together, you'll have a space where both of you can feel heard, understood, and supported. We'll explore what truly matters to each of you, and help you rediscover the connection, safety, and shared meaning that brought you together in the first place.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

We were not built to traverse these winding paths alone. I love moments when we come back to our roots and build unexpected connection in times of need. Sometimes even with the help of a little well-timed humor to lighten the load.

Special Note on the Void in Care for Step-families: Despite the fact that this is the most common type of family in the United States, there is a severe lack of evidence-based information and education available for step-families. And because step-families/blended families often struggle so much, I feel passionate about filling the void in evidence-based care. Much of my research has focused on evidence based strategies for step-families. As a step-mother/bonus mom myself, I love with working with those in step-parent roles, couples traversing step-family dynamics, and those who identify as belonging in a blended family. The issues and dynamics that come up are often taboo and they can feel incredibly isolating. Please know if you are struggling in these roles and dynamics, you are not alone. I look forward to helping you, your relationship, and your family survive and thrive.
