Welcome to my website and congratulations for taking the first step towards a more positive, empowered, and fulfilling chapter in your life!

Life is a journey and we all find ourselves a bit lost at times. Which way do I turn? How can we get our marriage back on track? Do I stay or do I move on?  Where is this road leading to anyway!? When we’ve been going in circles and see no options, it’s time to ask for directions. That’s where counseling comes in. It enables us to clarify our direction and clear the fog that can encompass emotionally trying times. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help and to admit you are struggling, but the rewards of growth are worth the risk.

As a marriage and family therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. As well, I specialize in relationships.  We can work together to assist you with strengthening an existing relationship or to help rebuild your life after a relationship ends, and all the stages in between.  Paying attention to relationship patterns from the past and present shed great light on what prompts you into counseling.  I take your individual experience as well as your relationship dynamics into consideration as we co-create your therapy goals. 

In addition to traditional talk-therapy, I also offer the powerful tool of hypnotherapy to enhance your therapeutic experience.  This heart-centered process helps to bypass our often inhibiting defense mechanisms and get to the heart of what truly keeps you stuck.   Hypnotherapy provides an opportunity to reach beyond our conscious thoughts and feelings.  The process can unearth old beliefs and behavior patterns that may have served an absolutely functional purpose at some point in your life but no longer serves you in a healthy way now.  By creating new affirmative thoughts and beliefs at the unconscious level, deep healing can occur.  This tool is used in conjunction with regular talk therapy sessions and helps to create the space for a more fulfilling and meaningful life to evolve.

When entering therapy with me, you can expect a trusting, safe environment in which to share your experience. All races, cultures, creeds, religions and lifestyles are honored and welcomed. You can expect to be heard and to have feedback provided to you. You can expect to participate actively in your therapy and to be challenged at times. You can expect to enter a process of growth and healing and to commit to the time it takes for you to move through whatever brings you into therapy.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you!

Please call or email me to set up an initial individual, couples or family therapy session today.  Prior to scheduling, a brief phone screening will be conducted to gather basic information and ensure that you will get the help you deserve.  Initial sessions are 90 minutes long and sessions thereafter are 50-60 minutes.  You are in charge of the frequency of sessions: weekly, biweekly, or monthly.  Frequency will fluctuate depending upon your particular needs.  Please browse through the remainder of this website, as it may answer many of your initial questions.  I look forward to hearing from you soon!
