At Peakworks Counseling, we help high-achieving professionals navigate stress, burnout, and relationship challenges so they can succeed without sacrificing their well-being.
Inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of my practice, ensuring every client feels valued and supported on their journey.
Our goal is to help you build a more sustainable way of working, living, and connecting with the people who matter most—without feeling like you have to choose between success and well-being.
First session
In your first counseling session at Peakworks Counseling Center, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you feel heard and supported. This is your opportunity to share your story — what brings you here, the challenges you’re facing, and what goals you hope to achieve. We’ll explore your relationship dynamics, personal experiences, and any emotions that have been weighing on you. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, coping with life transitions, or working through anxiety or depression, this session is about understanding your needs and setting the foundation for meaningful growth. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals, whether that means improving communication, rebuilding trust, or simply finding clarity and emotional balance. There’s no pressure — just a supportive environment where healing begins.
Strengths
As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in creating a safe, compassionate space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I specialize in couples counseling, helping partners navigate tough conversations, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection. I also understand how overwhelming life transitions can be. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, navigating career changes, or coping with anxiety and depression, I’m here to help you build resilience and find clarity. With a blend of modern therapy and mindfulness practices, we’ll work together to uncover your strengths, foster emotional healing, and create lasting growth. By tailoring interventions to each client’s needs and strengths, I focus on empowerment—encouraging resilience, confidence, and clarity. Inclusivity and accessibility are at the heart of my practice, ensuring every client feels valued and supported on their journey.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. If you’re experiencing burnout, struggling with communication, navigating conflict, or trying to rebuild trust after infidelity, therapy can help you better understand what’s happening and find a path forward. Together, we’ll work toward healthier communication, greater emotional intimacy, and more meaningful connections. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, major life transitions, past trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. Whether you’re managing the pressures of a demanding career, feeling emotionally depleted, or trying to reconnect with yourself and the people who matter most, therapy offers a space to explore your experiences, develop new perspectives, and create meaningful change.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice to help clients navigate life’s challenges. CBT is a practical, solution-focused approach that explores the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, or navigating major life transitions, CBT can provide tools to break free from negative patterns and build healthier coping strategies. In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify unhelpful thoughts, challenge them, and create more balanced perspectives. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you feel empowered to make positive changes. Through CBT, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop practical skills to manage challenges with confidence. For example, I guide clients through techniques like thought tracking, behavioral activation, and mindfulness exercises to promote self-awareness and lasting change. CBT is a collaborative and goal-oriented process, and I tailor it to meet each client's unique needs, ensuring that the tools and techniques align with their strengths, values, and goals. Whether it's helping someone reduce anxiety, improve communication in relationships, or enhance emotional regulation, CBT offers practical solutions that empower clients to create meaningful change in their lives.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a compassionate and research-backed approach designed to help couples deepen their connection, improve communication, and heal from past hurts. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand the emotions driving your interactions, uncovering patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Through this process, I’ll support you in building greater emotional safety and trust with your partner. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding after betrayal, or simply wanting to feel closer, EFT can help you create a stronger, more secure bond.
