It's true; relationships take work. And if you aren't trained to do a particular job, how can you be expected to do it well? I encourage and empower individuals, couples and families to achieve the future they desire. I work to collaboratively develop a series of steps to help you achieve these goals in a brief period.
Often, negative emotions are like a dark cloud that blurs our direction. These emotions have names like anger, anxiety, frustration, worry, doubt, and confusion. My job is to help you clear the cloud through the art of conversation and self-discovery. I provide my patients with a safe space to organize their thoughts, clarify their desires, and light the path forward.
My style is one of openness and non-judgmental acceptance, and I specialize in working with couples. I use a type of psychotherapy rooted in the Gottman Method to assist you and your partner reconnect and feel heard. Whether you are dealing with poor communication, sexual problems, parenting issues, or other issues affecting your relationship, I will help you overcome the obstacles to intimacy and change the dysfunctional patterns you find yourself trapped in.
We have all experienced life's ups and downs. My goal is to help you thrive, support you in working through challenges and find effective ways to live the life you want to live. I am here for you.
