Phew—take a breath. You made it. I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope we get the chance to work together. Individual counseling is an opportunity for you to focus on you and whatever may be weighing on your heart.

Sometimes we need a little perspective on what is happening in our lives. Other times we need help recognizing patterns or breaking habits that may no longer serve us. Individual counseling creates intentional time each week that is dedicated to your growth, healing, and well-being.

Many of us spend so much time caring for others that we neglect ourselves. Yet in order to care for those around us, we also need to care for ourselves. Counseling provides a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what you need.

My Approach

I have training in several different therapeutic approaches, but I believe no single method works for everyone. We are complex people, and different seasons of life call for different tools and perspectives. Because of this, I take an integrative approach to therapy and adapt our work together to best support you.

I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, mild depression, boundary setting, relationship challenges, fertility journeys, pre- and post-natal transitions, and other significant life changes.

What to Expect

Our first session together will involve me asking questions and gathering information so that I can better understand your story and what has brought you here. Together we will collaborate on treatment goals that reflect what you hope to work toward.

My role is to help guide the process and keep us moving toward those goals, but I believe it is important that you feel ownership of your journey. From there, each session allows us to explore real-time experiences from your life while learning new coping skills, communication tools, boundaries, and strategies for growth.

There is no pressure to be “fixed.” This is simply a space where you can come as you are, be heard, and begin learning new ways to navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and peace.

Congratulations to you—whether you’re thinking about engagement and the rest of your life together, or you’ve already made the commitment to forever. This new season can feel exciting and sometimes a little overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Over the years, I’ve learned that couples who invest time in their relationship during the dating or engagement phase build a stronger foundation for the future—whether that future includes marriage, children, or all of the above. Taking time now to understand one another more deeply can help strengthen communication, deepen connection, and prepare you for the seasons ahead.

My Approach

Premarital counseling is designed to help couples explore their relationship more intentionally before marriage. Together we will look at communication styles, expectations, values, and the patterns each of you brings into the relationship so that you can build a strong and healthy foundation moving forward.

Rather than waiting until problems arise later in marriage, premarital counseling allows couples to address important topics early and develop tools that support long-term connection and understanding.

Tools We May Use

I am SYMBIS* certified. SYMBIS stands for Save Your Marriage Before It Starts. This assessment offers a thoughtful and comprehensive look at not only your relationship, but also what each of you brings into the relationship as individuals. It allows us to explore everyday life together while also identifying patterns or areas that could create tension over time if left unaddressed.

SYMBIS is not the only approach used in premarital counseling. Depending on your needs as a couple, we may also draw from other relationship frameworks such as How We Love, the Gottman Method, and Attachment Styles. Each of these tools helps couples grow in understanding, communication, and emotional connection.

What to Expect

Premarital counseling provides intentional space for the two of you to explore your relationship in a deeper and more meaningful way. Together we will talk through topics such as communication, conflict resolution, expectations, family dynamics, and future goals.

My goal is to help you strengthen your partnership so that you enter marriage with clarity, confidence, and practical tools that support a healthy and lasting relationship.

It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you prepare for the next chapter of your journey together.

*Please note: The SYMBIS assessment requires a $50 fee that is paid directly to SYMBIS at the time the assessment is taken.

Do you ever find yourselves stuck in the same arguments? Feeling frustrated or overwhelmed because neither person feels truly heard or understood? Many couples experience seasons where communication becomes difficult or where life transitions begin to strain the relationship.

Changes such as having children, caring for aging parents, navigating stress, or adjusting to new life circumstances can shift the dynamics of a relationship. Marriage can sometimes feel harder than we expected—but the good news is that these patterns can often change for the better.

My Approach

In marriage counseling, we honor both partners equally because the relationship itself is the client. My role is to help identify patterns, communication habits, and behaviors that may be unintentionally harming the relationship while also creating space where both partners feel respected, heard, and understood.

Every couple brings a unique set of personalities, histories, needs, and communication styles into their relationship. My goal is to help you better understand one another and strengthen the foundation that brought you together in the first place.

Tools We May Use

I am SYMBIS* certified. While SYMBIS stands for Save Your Marriage Before It Starts, the assessment adapts for couples who are already married. As it learns more about each of you, it adjusts the questions to help us gain deeper insight into the unique dynamics of your relationship.

SYMBIS is not the only tool we may use. Depending on your needs as a couple, we may also incorporate approaches such as the Gottman Method or How We Love, which are both widely respected relationship frameworks that help couples build healthier communication and stronger emotional connection.

What Marriage Counseling Can Offer

Couples counseling creates intentional time for the two of you to reconnect, rediscover one another, and develop healthier ways of communicating. Together we can work toward strengthening connection, deepening intimacy, and even learning how to argue in more constructive ways—yes, that really is possible.

Couples who prioritize the health of their relationship often find that many other areas of life improve as well. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward building a stronger and more fulfilling partnership.
