Does life constantly feel overwhelming? Do you have past or present trauma that seems to affect everything you think or do? Do you feel like your partner never listens to or understands you? Or does it feel like they just don’t care about you or your needs at all? These are all common experiences for individuals and couples. The good news is, there is hope and help. I can help you work through that trauma so it does not affect you constantly. I can teach you and your partner how to communicate more effectively so that you can meet each other’s needs and get back to that loving place you were in at the start of the relationship.
I integrate many types of therapies, which allows me to meet your specific needs. Some of the outcomes I strive for are increased confidence and the ability to set boundaries and handle life’s difficulties without becoming too overwhelmed. For couples, I also hope to see better communication and increased intimacy, affection, and safety in the relationship.
I accept clients unconditionally and create a space where they will feel completely safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. I like seeing the stability that provides, which then trickles into other parts of their lives, allowing them to grow, heal, and create changes. Email me today to set up an appointment so we can start your journey together!
