Who's looking for ways to spend some quality time with your partner this weekend? My Relationship Assessment is a great place to start.

You can take it by yourself, but I encourage my couples counseling clients to each take it separately but at the same time and then discuss their results together. You might just be surprised by what you learn!

Hi there! I'm all about helping couples build stronger and better relationships. Take my quiz to get a baseline feel for where your relationship is now, and I'll send you super-detailed next steps to make it even better! Disclaimer: Quiz results are meant to be generalized and give you a starting po...

I'm looking forward to time with my family today, but most of all my thoughts are with those who were brave enough to become the reason we honor this holiday. Their families will be around a gravesite instead of a barbecue grill - if that includes you, you are stronger than you know. If you ever need someone to talk to about what you've experience, I'm here for you.

I want to take a moment to appreciate my single people today - if you're seeing this, please show me you're here!

Whether you're between relationships, you've never been in a relationship, or you're divorced or widowed, I see you. You are not less than because you are alone, you are strong. No matter what circumstances have led you to being single at this exact time in life, please take a moment to appreciate your awesomeness - I sure do!

Relationships are not easy. That may sound obvious, but then why do so many people feel so alone when going through a rough patch with their partner?

Social media, movies, television and our society in general have programmed us to have unrealistic expectations of relationships. Even the bad ones we see portrayed in shows often have a drama to them that seems to fuel the passion of the couple and keep them together. The reality of navigating difficulties in a romantic relationship feels sad and lonely, not passionate. If you're having a tough time with your spouse or significant other, I want you to know that you are not alone.

Happy Wednesday! Today I am definitely dreaming of my next vacation once it's safe to travel again. How are you slowing down and taking a little time for yourself this week? Let me know in the comments, I'm always looking for new ideas!

Anyone else started feeling this way after a sudden global pandemic threw all of your best-laid plans out the window? 🙋

There are so. many. things. in life that we can't control, and that can be very difficult to accept. This hasn't been an easy season for me, and I know I'm not alone in that! If you need help processing everything that's happened over the last few weeks, I would love to talk to you.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The stigma around mental health and seeking help for mental illness is much less than it used to be, but it can still be terrifying to open up to someone about your mental health. You wouldn't hesitate to go to the doctor for a broken bone, and your mental health is just as important - if not more so.

If you need to talk to someone you can trust, please send me a message or make an appointment through my website. I am here for you!

Under normal circumstances, the weekend ahead would be filled with graduations and parties and celebrations of life's achievements for young adults all over the world.

I know everyone is doing their best to keep a positive attitude and make the most of a strange, sad situation, but it's okay to admit that you're not okay. High school and college are volatile times even when a global pandemic isn't involved, so if you need someone to talk to I would love to give you that safe place to open up.
