Are you in a relationship that you aren't sure is right for you? Do you find that you would like to be more connected to significant people in your life but find yourself struggling to create the intimacy you desire? It is human nature to want to be connected to other people, yet many of us put walls up and make that connection difficult. Or we may gravitate to relationships that are not healthy for us. We may continue with old habits that at some point served a purpose in our lives, but as we grow we find that the more we continue operating in the same patterns we get less of what we actually want in our relationships. I can help you identify patterns that keep you stuck and prevent you from connecting the way you would like to in your relationships. I can help you learn new ways of being in a relationship and connecting. If you are reading this you are aware that something you are doing is no longer working, something needs to change. Healing and growth are possible and you can have the relationships that you want. I view therapy as a process, a journey of discovery and learning. As your therapist I will be part of your journey by providing a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel free to express your deepest concerns, thoughts and emotions. I believe that in order to move forward in our lives it is essential to deal with emotional pain, anxiety and stress we may be carrying. Therapy can help recognize and face unresolved pain and conflict that may be affecting you in negative ways. I believe that the client therapist relationship is the most important part of therapy. Through our relationship my hope is that you acquire an improved understanding of yourself and attain balance in your life. I can help you find the answers that lie within you. I have experience working with a wide range of issues including relationship issues, intimacy, motherhood, parenting, anxiety, life transitions, family conflicts & emotional concerns.
I am an effective counselor, experienced both professionally and personally, who specializes in working with men and couples who want real change, not endless conversation. I also work with young men struggling to make their way in the world. Much of my work focuses on men who feel frustrated, disconnected, stuck, or under pressure to “hold it together” while things quietly fall apart underneath. Many of my clients are intelligent, capable, and successful on paper, but are struggling with anger, anxiety, relationships, identity, or major life transitions. I offer a grounded, direct, and respectful approach that helps men understand what is actually driving their reactions and how to respond differently and without shaming, pathologizing, or watering things down. I also work well with couples who are caught in recurring conflict, emotional distance, or breakdowns in trust. My approach helps couples slow things down, identify the patterns keeping them stuck, and rebuild communication and connection in a way that is practical and sustainable. Sessions are structured, balanced, and focused on progress so therapy feels purposeful rather than chaotic or one-sided. My style is warm but straightforward. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and person-centered work, and structured couples frameworks, while tailoring treatment to the person, not the model. I am active in sessions, ask thoughtful questions, and help clients move from insight to action. If you are looking for a therapist who will take you seriously, challenge you appropriately, and help you make meaningful changes in your life or relationship, we may be a good fit. If you want durable change, clarity, and growth, therapy can be a powerful investment.

I truly believe that life is comparable to a journey. As we learn new skills we increase our ability to maneuver around major obstacles, and if we are headed for disaster it is imperative that we change our direction. My therapeutic style is based on the principles of self-respect, personal responsibility, and honesty. However, my professional experience has taught me that effective therapy is a two way street. The therapist and the person in treatment must collaborate in order to get the most out of each session. It is true that making lasting positive changes requires great effort and commitment. Nevertheless, I will provide the tools, professional support, and advice you need as you make each step on your personal journey to health and happiness.

As a wife or mom, you’re constantly spinning plates – and dropping at least one every day. Your time is consumed by schedules, appointments, messes, and managing everyone else’s needs, while your own stress and emotions go unaddressed. The mental load never lets up: remembering everything, being needed by everyone, and still feeling like it’s never enough. You’ve tried pushing through, making lists, telling yourself this is just a season, but the exhaustion always returns. A quiet fear sets in that this is simply who you are now: a woman with no space left for herself. What you want is steadiness, clarity, and room to breathe again. I work with overwhelmed mothers to uncover what’s actually draining their energy and why willpower alone keeps failing. Together, we identify hidden stressors, restore structure that supports your real life, and rebuild connection to your needs and identity. The focus is practical, relational, and designed to reduce overload, not add more to your plate. As responsibility becomes more sustainable, days feel calmer and more intentional. You respond instead of react, set boundaries without guilt, and show up with more presence in your relationships. Mornings feel grounded instead of rushed, and life opens up beyond constant caretaking. It’s time to rediscover yourself. Reach out today for a free consultation.
