“Nothing is more important in our lives than our relationships. A great relationship boosts your immune system, opens your heart, and keeps you vital and creative.”
– Terry Real

Have you and your partner lost your spark? In the beginning, you felt seen and heard. Now, you find yourselves in a pattern of negativity, blocked communication, and disconnection. You wonder…Will my partner and I ever reconnect emotionally and/or physically? You want to feel closeness again but fear and doubt weigh heavily on your heart and mind. The time to take your relationship off autopilot to actively choose co-creating the relationship you both desire is NOW. 

Or maybe you have been wondering if you even know yourself anymore having lost your sense of self, purpose, and meaning. You think you can remember a time when you felt understood, heard and seen AND anxiety and stress have you doubting if that is even possible. The time to embark on a transformative journey to redefine meaning, purpose, and connection in all ares of your life is NOW. 

“Our identities are intimately bound to our understanding of ourselves in relationship to other.” -Diane R. Gehart and Amy R. Tuttle

Specifically trained in Clinical Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy and having experienced and healed from relational trauma, I know the pain of disconnection, the struggle to develop an understanding of Self in relation to others and within culture as a whole, and the path to individual healing and relational repair. Couples Therapy with me is a safe space to strengthen communication skills, embrace vulnerability and intimacy together, and rediscover deep relational connection no matter the season (dating, premarital, marital, second marriage) or constellation (traditional, open, LGTBQ, secular, religious) of your relationship. Similarly, Individual Therapy with me is an opportunity to know yourself intimately and to redefine for yourself both personal and relational fulfillment. 

In the therapy room, I aim to embody a genuine, open, and nonjudgmental stance that will allow for you to discover your own path forward towards meaningful relationships and purposeful living. I am committed to meeting you wherever you are and to helping you reconnect with self and others. Together, in individual or couples therapy, we will uncover your path forward to co-create the relationships you desire, rekindle your emotional, mental, and physical intimacy with self and others, discover your authentic self, and prioritize your personal, professional, and relational wellness. 

Are you ready to invest in mutually affirming relationships with self and others based on thoughtful consideration? Choose connection today and SCHEDULE your free consultation with me.
