COUPLES: Is there a lack of joy in your relationship? Do you and your partner fight all the time? Has there been a betrayal? A lack of intimacy? Couples who use my tools create more joy and connection - permanently. For the cost of a divorce you can instead have the loving, connected, joyous relationship you want. I'm a Certified Gottman Therapist, which is the "gold standard" of couples method. NOW Offering Discernment Counseling: if you aren't sure if you want to end the relationship, this is a process to help you gain clarity and confidence about your decision, whatever you choose. Check out my website for waaaay more info.
ADULTS: I specialize in helping clients improve communication skills, become more assertive, set (and enforce) healthy boundaries, and heal from past trauma. My practical and supportive approach might be a good match for you. I provide EMDR (trauma therapy) when needed/desired. Give me a call to talk about it.
I offer free video consultations (20 minutes) so clients can ask questions, get a sense of my style, and figure out if we might be a good match. Even if you end up choosing another therapist, many people find this consultation helpful. So feel free to reach out and set one up. Check out my website for waaaay more information about how I help and who I am.
