About Me
My favorite quote is "“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” (Frederick Buechner). Life is full of beautiful and terrible things. I enjoy working with people in all seasons of life to work through the terrible things so you can see and experience the beautiful things more. I love working with both couples and individuals. My areas of expertise and special interest include working with couples who feel disconnected or distressed due to affairs and other trust breaches, parenting struggles, and communication breakdowns, as well as working with individuals who have experienced past or current trauma. I am a certified EMDR therapist. I also have advanced training in using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
