Maybe the same arguments keep happening at home, or you and your partner feel distant and struggle to reconnect. Maybe you’re navigating a new role as a husband, wife, or parent, and adjusting feels harder than you expected. Maybe life after a new baby feels overwhelming, or stress has been building quietly until everything feels heavy. Whatever brought you here, we can start with where you are and work together toward the changes you want to make.

I’m Roxanne, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have experience helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust, reconnect emotionally, and work through challenges with physical and emotional intimacy. Together, we can explore what’s keeping you disconnected and work toward a more fulfilling relationship.

Much of my work also centers on family relationships, parenting, and the many roles women are asked to carry. I welcome clients navigating grief, painful past experiences, questions of identity, and the push and pull of cultural expectations. I hold master’s degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, and my experience spans private practice, schools, homes, and community settings.

I know that walking into a psychiatrist's office or even logging onto a video call can feel really overwhelming. Maybe you’ve been putting this off for months (or years). Maybe you’re not even sure if you 'need' medication, or you're worried about side effects. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know you are not a diagnosis to me. You are a person.

By training, I am dually board-certified as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner. In plain English? That means I look at all of you not just your anxiety or your ADHD, but also your sleep, your stress levels, your blood work, your hormones, and what's going on in your everyday life. Because the truth is, our brains don't exist in a vacuum. Sometimes what feels like 'all in your head' actually starts in your thyroid, your gut, or your heart. I'm trained to catch those connections.

I don't believe in rushing you out the door with a prescription pad. I believe in listening first. We will figure this out together, at your pace. Whether that means trying medication, adjusting your routines, or just having a safe space to be brutally honest about how you're really doing I am here to walk alongside you, not talk down to you.

My goal isn't to 'fix' you (because you aren't broken). It's to help you feel like yourself again—clearer, calmer, and more in control. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
