Maybe you just want to feel like yourself again. You might think--is this depression? Or am I just really low right now? It could be that your relationship is shaky, to the point of you wondering: "Should I leave my marriage?" Counseling helps you find clarity so you feel more calm, confident and peaceful. I offer research-based therapy (CBT, Gottman, DBT), and I offer faith-based counseling. Are you feeling anxious about your relationships? I walk with you as you make the tough choices. You might be wondering if you feeling anxious due to narcissistic abuse or even perimenopause--I can help you find clarity and make a plan. (I do NOT accept insurance for couples therapy.) I am a mental health counselor who specializes in women, couples and teens. I use my Gottman Method training (an internally known, research-based therapy) to help couples restore their relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and my background in secondary education to help my teens thrive in adolescence.

First session
The first appointment is about getting to know each other. We draft goals for therapy that are measurable and ring true to what made you pick up the phone in the first place. I ask about your background--health, relationships, mental health--to serve you best.
Strengths
I am a counselor who offers Christian counseling, is trained to help couples, and has been a high school English teacher. My background is rich in experience and compassion.
Ideal clients
Imagine feeling more comfortable in your relationships. You can speak freely and laugh loudly. You get back to those fun, carefree days with your partner. You feel accepted and understood. Therapy is the path to safe, enduring relationships. You work through old memories that still sting. You learn new ways to communicate and to assert yourself. You turn toward the conflict so that the resentment can no longer control your life. As a couples counselor, I offer strategies for healing. There is no "bad guy" or "good guy." We examine the relationship's strengths and weaknesses and follow a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
