You’ve gotten to a point where you feel lost, lost in life, lost in your relationship, and you’re overwhelmed. You are at the end of your rope, can you stay in this relationship anymore? You feel like you’re not good enough, not important, like something is wrong with you or you’re broken?
At this point, you’re wondering will you ever feel normal or happy. Many people get to this point, from a variety of different paths. You may have depression or anxiety, feel overwhelmed with school, work, family stress. And you’ve tried everything and it feels like nothing is working.
That is where I come in. I use modalities of therapy that are different. Our counseling sessions will focus on helping you reconnect with yourself, make yourself a priority and take care of your needs. If you are motivated and willing to do the work, we will guide you to feeling happy and like yourself again.
Emotionally focused couples therapy helps partners to reconnect when you feel like you may not make it anymore. I will help guide you to heal from the wounds, feel important again, rebuild trust, and turn towards each other instead of away.

I believe many of us go through life giving pieces of ourselves to others, without taking the time for what we really need. Counseling can be a safe space for you to share your thoughts, emotions, insecurities, and fears without judgement – without bias. We have so many thoughts constantly rushing through our heads. I believe the act of just talking to a caring person can organize our thoughts, and at the same time release some of the heaviness you carry. You do not have to do it alone.
As your counselor, I will follow you. You will always know your life and your situation better than anyone else. My job is to walk with you. We will look at your relationships, your needs, and your priorities and make a plan together.
One of my favorite quotes by Ram Dass says, “We’re all just walking each other home.” That’s largely how I think of counseling. We go through life touching people in ways we might not understand at the time, but each person leaves something. Each interaction. I hope to walk alongside you as you find your next step in life.
