I want to walk alongside you, your partner, or family as you experience and adjust to transitions in your life. I hope to help you feel more balanced in your identity as together we build a solid foundation of love, care, and kindness for yourself that can help positively impact the relationships that are most important to you.

I use a systemic experiential model to help you recognize family patterns in order to connect with yourself or your partner, to help you feel grounded when anxious, and to create trustworthiness with yourself and others. We will work together to create an important foundation to engage in the work of relational wellness through better communication, increased intimacy, and connectivity with the people who are most important to you.

I have a passion to journey with individuals and couples as they seek to restore love and trust in their life and relationships.

I specialize in working with couples struggling with communication, intimacy, life transitions, and conflict (including infidelity, addiction, abuse, and trauma).

I also work with men who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, paternity, and relationship struggles.

All clients (individual and couple) will come to understand their behavioral responses caused by our internal experiences of pain, what we refer to as the pain cycle. We will then map out and organize new opportunities for personal responsibility and predictability, referred to as our peace cycle. We will seek together how to practice and strengthen making decisions within our peace cycle instead of making decisions while coping with our pain cycle.

I work with individuals navigating difficult feelings or behaviors, couples facing intense conflict, & kids/parents who are struggling. Regardless the situation, from day one, I'll bring my authentic self to the room. That includes compassion, directness, and maybe even a little humor.

What's A.J. therapy like? Well, I believe you deserve to understand the roots of your Pain: Those unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. So, we'll explore and build mindfulness around when those patterns get activated. And over time, we'll work towards lasting change by healing old wounds, creating new perspectives, and continuous in-session practice.

PARENTS: When working with youth, I require parent(s) to attend regularly so WE can do work too. The goal is to strengthen the relationship so you don't need me anymore! I will likely challenge you a bit- not to criticize, but to address patterns that aren't working. Change requires a willingness to self-reflect, take responsibility, and try new approaches.
