How I can help
Counseling services tailored to you
Every person's path is unique. I offer a range of therapeutic approaches designed to meet you where you are — with warmth, expertise, and genuine care.
Marital & Premarital Counseling
Strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and build a lasting foundation — whether you're preparing for marriage or working through challenges.
Divorce Recovery
A compassionate space to process the grief, anger, and uncertainty that come with the end of a marriage — and to begin rebuilding.
Grief & Loss
Grief is not a problem to be solved. I offer a gentle, unhurried space to honor your loss and find your footing again.
Depression & Anxiety
Evidence-based approaches to help you understand and manage anxiety and depression — so they no longer define your days.
Addiction Counseling
Compassionate, non-shaming support for substance use, alcohol, food, and behavioral addictions — and a sustainable path toward recovery.
Parenting, Family & Codependency
Support for single parents, blended families, and those working to establish healthier boundaries and relational patterns.
