I love helping my clients have healthier relationships.

I use the Gottman Connect assessments with couples, which measure success or struggles in key areas such as friendship, intimacy, conflict resolution, household chores, & parenting.

Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

Hello, It takes courage to speak with a therapist, so I commend you for taking this first step to look for help. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive, genuine and warm space for you to seek and get the help that you need in therapy.

While life ebbs and flows through times of serenity and times of darkness, we often find ourselves questioning our abilities to cope, think, and even function. Frustration and feelings of inadequacy rush in, which can quickly break down our self-esteem and feelings of worth. People may begin to think, "Why can't I just relax? I used to not be like this. What's wrong with me?". These mood and anxiety obstacles, while disheartening, are common conditions that can be relieved through counseling, where we challenge cognitive distortions and biases we have towards other people, our environment, and ourselves.
