Rebuild a foundation of love, mutual respect, and limits with your teens and young adults. I'm excited to offer online counseling as one of my services! I use the HIPAA compliant version of Zoom, which allows us to have secure video sessions, and you don't have to be tech-savvy to use it. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, certified marriage and family therapist, and a certified addictions counselor.
I use research-based, creative, and holistic strategies to help my clients create deeper connections with their loved ones and a greater sense of peace and empowerment. I love my work and feel honored and grateful to be a part of your life journey. Create an intimate relationship that is a legacy you wish to pass down to future generations. Every so often I meet couples who get it- Marriage is not the end of their romance.
It's the beginning. They know that they have years in which to deepen their connection, to experiment, to regress, and even fail. They see their relationship as something alive and ongoing, not a fate de complete.

Services
I have been married for two decades and am a mother of a beautiful son.
I realize that I didn't reach 20 years of marriage by chance or luck.
My spouse and I reached this milestone in part from tenacity, a lot of trial and error and most of all a willingness to "do the work".
As a result, we both feel our relationship is at its strongest place.
We are fortunate to be living in a time when there is actual research (a road map) to guide couples in developing secure, healthy, bonds.
I am also a "mamapreneur" and understand the challenges of mothers who work outside the home.

Are you struggling with a partner who has an untreated mental health or substance use disorder or trauma?
Are you having endless conflicts about sex, mess, kids, in-laws, work, money or something else?
We rarely enter intimate relationships with research-based relationship skills to guide us in creating a happy, fulfilling and passionate long-term marriage.
Instead, we're taught that love will conquer all.
We think relationships are common sense, but we're actually flying without a map especially if neither sets of our parents were the model we wish to emulate.

Your teen making poor choices- of friends (who are a bad influence), activities (lack of healthy ones and only choosing risky ones), and/or not consistently attending school.
Your adult child who is struggling to launch (not in school or working, not fulfilling other adult responsibilities- paying bills and doing chores, engaging in substance use, other addictions/or other challenging behaviors, exhibiting mental health issues, but not seeking help for them, etc.).

Do you feel alone or as if you are you living a double life because of your gender expression or sexual identity?

Has being a part of the LGBTQ+ community elicited stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and/or substance abuse?
Do you and your spouse/partner need support as a couple from an LGBTQ+ affirming & knowledgeable therapist?
It can be incredibly stressful and exhausting to censor your authentic self due to threats or repercussions you have experienced or having the fear of potential consequences for expressing your true gender and/or sexual identity.
