Are you going through a life transition such as a new baby, job stress/insecurity, worries about your relationship, or concerns around addiction? With Saturday and evening availability I specialize in getting to the root of anxiety and depression, working with you to find solutions that meet your objectives. Focused couple's training through the Gottman Institute adds tools to help enhance communication and improve your relationships. Additionally, my wisdom and clinical experiences will give you a safe, affirming, and compassionate space to navigate stressful life events and transitions that may be difficult to face alone.
I am currently training in EMDR to help facilitate healing and self-exploration for clients desiring to bridge the gap between goals, fears, trauma, and dreams. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and sensitive to the intersections of past experiences, current challenges, and future goals. I believe you are ultimately the expert on your own life.
Through skill building and gained insights, I see therapy as a journey toward a deepened understanding of self and relationships with others. Life can be challenging at times, and seeking help from a therapist can be a great first step in creating positive change. Reach out today for a free consultation and learn more about how I may be of help to you.
