I support clients to live happy and meaningful lives and help them make changes that bring about well-being and transformation. I have a passion to support individuals, couples and families through many different life transitions (from adjusting to college, marriage, divorce, births, loss, retirement, coping with illness, and caregiving). I help clients with a range of relationship issues—from marriage/romantic partner conflict, communication issues in relationships, resolving issues in friendships, co-parenting, parent-child issues, loss of relationship & grief work, contemplation of separation, and exploring unhealthy patterns.
I help people •change unproductive behaviors & patterns •process feelings of anger and sadness •cope with uncertainty and pain •navigate life transitions •explore self/identity •explore solutions to problems •work on life goals •make choices to grow and thrive.
I believe that therapy offers people the chance to grow and transform in the face life’s challenges. It's exciting to support people as they journey to explore and better understand themselves and their relationships, and to make choices to positively change their futures. Please reach out to me to see if I am the right fit to assist you on your journey.
