Focus Areas and Specializations

Couples Counseling and Marital Therapy

Are you looking to rekindle the passion, connection and love in your marriage or relationship? Day-to-day life and stressors can leave you with little time and energy to invest in your relationship leading to lack of intimacy, miscommunication, and conflict. Furthermore, we are often not taught relationship skills while growing up, so we can end up in relationships as adults with little information about what does and does not work in a relationship and why. If you and your partner wish to work through your relationship challenges, repair any damage done, strengthen your bond and/or fall back in love then therapy is for you, and I can help.

I work collaboratively with couples experiencing problems with physical and emotional intimacy, communication, connection, life transitions and challenges, infidelity, separation or divorce, finances, parenting, families and blended families, addiction, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder and violence.

As an experienced marriage and couple’s counselor using Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work, I can help you learn skills to understand each other better, build connection, explore concerns, improve communication, work through conflicts, increase trust and intimacy, and recognize, respect and appreciate your partner all in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space.

Anxiety & Stress

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or even depressed? Life is a journey shaped by our history, experiences, thoughts, feelings and actions. From time to time this journey can create challenges for us.

Many factors during our lives can directly impact our well-being, including relationships, work, health issues, life transitions and changes, our history, trauma and finances. It can be difficult to navigate through these challenges by yourself.

Working together, I can help you learn skills to confront your challenges, foster self-awareness and confidence, identify negative thought patterns, regulate your emotions, develop coping strategies, manage stressors, and set achievable goals for long-term wellness.

With my experience using a strength based therapeutic approach through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychotherapy, Trauma Informed Approaches, and Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques you will learn to manage your anxiety and stress so you can live a well-balanced life.
