  • Our Mission

    Supporting Healing, Connection, and Growth

    At Embrace Relationship Counseling, we believe that fulfilling connections are the foundation of a healthy life. Our mission is to support couples and individuals on their journey toward relationships where they feel truly seen, heard, and loved.

    Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based approaches, including the Gottman Method and EMDR, to address the complex challenges that can arise in relationships. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of infidelity, coping with addiction, healing from childhood wounds, or struggling with feelings of loneliness and disconnection, we’re here to help.

    We also offer ongoing workshops and community events designed to make mental and emotional health services accessible in multiple ways. These programs provide opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others in a supportive environment.

    Embracing change can be daunting—even when it’s for the better. I believe that as human beings, we’re inherently wired for connection and support, especially during life’s transitions.

    From our earliest moments, we begin forming attachment styles that influence how we relate to ourselves and others. Throughout life, these patterns can be challenged by experiences like trauma, addiction, infidelity, or difficulties in expressing our needs and emotions.

    My diverse background in marriage and family therapy, addiction counseling, education, business, and parenthood provides me with a multifaceted perspective on the challenges relationships face. Whether you’re seeking to reconnect with yourself or to heal and strengthen your partnership, I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey.

    Together, we’ll explore the paths that lead to deeper understanding, resilience, and meaningful connections.
