As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in providing couples counseling to help partners navigate relationship challenges, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional connection. With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I work alongside couples to explore the underlying dynamics that contribute to conflict, stress, and dissatisfaction in their relationship. My goal is to guide couples in building healthier communication patterns, resolving misunderstandings, and addressing unresolved issues that may be hindering their connection. I believe relationships can grow even stronger after going through a crisis. Every challenge presents an opportunity for growth, and together, we can work to turn difficult times into a foundation for deeper understanding, respect, and intimacy. I utilize evidence-based techniques such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused to support couples in improving their relationship dynamics. By fostering mutual respect, understanding, and empathy, I help couples cultivate deeper trust and intimacy. Whether you're navigating conflict, adjusting to life changes, or working on rebuilding your relationship, I’m here to provide the support and guidance you need to foster a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. In addition to working with couples, I also offer individual counseling for those looking to explore personal growth, manage stress, or address underlying issues that impact their relationships. Through a tailored, holistic approach, I help clients achieve emotional well-being and find lasting solutions to the challenges they face.

I have over 14 years of combined therapy experience at the professional level and believe in the profession that I am licensed in which is social work. I believe in a client-centered perspective and derive my approaches from a variety of treatment modalities. Cognitive behavioral is a significant framework that I utilize but I believe that other approaches are also effective as sessions need to be tailored to the unique needs of the individual or clientele being served. I believe in true empathy, truly trying to understand my clients' perspectives and their insight into their lives. Each person I have counseled over the years and will be counseling have inherent worth, dignity and I believe in their abilities to improve in areas of self-direction and self-efficacy. Therapy is all about the client who is reading this right now, the therapist is simply a conduit to improve a person's ability to reorganize their life, to improve their internal locus of control, to help a client engage in goal-oriented behavior and be conscientious of the choices one is making in life on a regular basis. Cognitive behavioral methods consider irrational thought paradigms and help to counteract these cognitions or thoughts with more rational, counterbalancing, self-esteem enhancing thoughts and help a person to see the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
