Counseling for Individuals, Families & Couples
“If there is one thing that a person needs from another human being,
it’s to be appreciated, to be listened to, to be heard. Just as you are.
Not as I would make you.”
-Ram Das
Welcome
If you are looking for relief from relationship issues, sadness, anxiousness, anger, frustration, overwhelm, or confusion, I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to explore the things that are disrupting your peace and empowerment. I can help you create personalized strategies for moving through what you don’t like and creating more of what you do.

When couples are experiencing discomfort, one or both partners are feeling confined or unheard in some way; making honesty and authenticity unsafe. This will affect everything from physical intimacy to your ability to work through daily logistics. I can help you improve your relationship with a minimum of sessions.
