No matter how strong we are, we all need a little help finding our way. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or struggling with past experiences, you don’t have to go through it all on your own. Whether you're looking to improve your relationship, manage stress or heal from trauma, I will provide a safe and judgment-free space where you can grow and heal at your own pace.

Making a 1st appointment can feel intimidating, but you deserve to feel valued, heard and supported throughout your journey. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s connect and start your journey towards healing and self-empowerment.
I will work with you where you are at in life and I understand that each person will need a different personalized approach. I also try to speak directly and clearly so that you have an honest opinion and clear idea about what steps you can take to improve your situation.
Are you feeling like you have to walk on eggshells to speak with your partner? Does it feel like you put things off with each other until they explode? This situation is more common than you think, but many couple's don't talk about it with their friends and family or they feel like they get conflicting advice from them. The result is that they feel even more confused about doing the right thing. This can lead to having more frequent arguments and wondering if things can even get better at all. Together, I work with couples to help them learn how to improve their communication skills and their conflict resolutions skills so that they can have a better understanding of each other's point of view. You don't have to agree on everything, but you can at least walk away feeling respected and open to having a conversation at a later time. I like to give direct recommendations that you can start using right away to try to keep arguments from escalating by listening to each partners' individual communication style. The results can be that couple's find more common ground and can start to feel more hopeful that things can improve If you're ready to give each other another chance to improve your relationship or you want to avoid having disagreements in front of the kids, feel free to reach out and schedule a session with me. I have daytime and evening availability.
Couples counseling can be used to help couples navigate and resolve issues within their relationship by improving things such as their communication skills, conflict resolution skills and improving trust. This can lead to couples having a better understanding of one another and greater overall relationship satisfaction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that can help reduce stress and other symptoms such as anxiety and depression that get in the way of everyday life. Clients learn about how thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence each other so that they can change the ones that are hurting them or their relationships with others.
Eclectic therapy means that I can borrow from different theories in order to customize my treatment of each individual client. You choose what we talk about in session because only you know what is most important to you at that moment. We might have a session where we speak about what happened over the last week and another session where we speak about your childhood because you want me to have a better understanding about how you grew up. There could also be sessions where you're learning coping skills or breaking down long term goals into smaller steps. The goal is to use every tool available to help you in your specific situation.
