Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. There is no better investment than in you and the quality of your life and relationships.
I have been a therapist for almost 20 years specializing in adults with anxiety, couples counseling and communication, women’s wellness, personal growth, and trauma work.
I also founded this clinic in 2009 and have enjoyed being a small business owner where I get to utilize a different set of skills outside of my clinical work. As a result I work with many professionals supporting them in their personal and professional lives as well.
Counseling is great place for you explore your personal beliefs and relationships in a safe and accepting space. I truly believe in the power of love and our ability to grow through the challenges we face. I am happy to help you in this process, and to laugh along the way too, because life it too short not to.
Individual Counseling & Personal Growth:
We are each unique and I love supporting people in discovering what works well for them to find joy, health, connection and fulfillment.
I use an integrative approach where we help you address many different areas of your life that can come together to improve your well being and connection to the people and the world around you. This might include making lifestyle changes, addressing difficult relationships, clearing out past traumas, career development, spiritual exploration, and more.
I use a variety of therapy models that include talk therapy and experiential therapies, such as EMDR. (detailed list below)
I also enjoy helping you find your true self in this process and getting to know who you are, helping you to align with your values, purpose and passion.
Common issues I work with: stress and anxiety, relationships and communication, women’s health concerns related to stress, midlife challenges and transitions, career growth or changes and more.
Couples Counseling & Communication Coaching:
I have specialized in couples counseling for most of my career. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and Supervisor, however I also integrate many therapy tools and skills I have gained over the years to help couples.
I have worked with a vast array of couples and relationship challenges, however I most often work with committed and monogamous couples. I help individuals and couples with communication, emotional connection, physical intimacy, parenting, trust and security, affair recovery, new relationships, separating, or divorcing.
Together we will help you break out of the negative stuck patterns of conflict and avoidance, and build new ways of connecting and communicating. We will help you build a deeper level of emotional trust and security, not just in your relationship, but within yourself. I truly believe our relationship struggles are the best learning opportunities for personal growth.
We thrive when we are in connection with our self, others, and our source. Our most intimate relationships are often our gateway to discovering this deeper level of connection.
Everyone is different and my superpower is noticing what is unique about you and your relationship so I can empower you to heal and grow as individuals and as partners. If needed, I can also support you in ending your relationship with love and compassion to provide the best potential outcome for you and your family.
