ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS---In-person and Virtual Appointments available
I look forward to getting to know you and working collaboratively with you to enact positive changes in your life. As a team, we will work on understanding and altering dysfunctional moods, behaviors, patterns of thinking, and interactions with others. I have a specialized interest in couples counseling and enjoy assisting clients with saving or strengthening their relationships. I conceptualize clients from a developmental and social systems lens and utilize a combination of traditional talk therapy as well as planned, goal-based interventions. I work with adults, couples, and families surrounding issues such as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, communication, coping skills, grief/loss, substance abuse, separation/divorce, low self-worth, work stress, parenting struggles, high-conflict relationships, overcoming past trauma, and life transitions and adjustments. By providing a supportive environment that is free of judgment and full of hope, I empower my clients to gain clarity and insight, to effectively manage difficult emotions and challenging situations, and to accomplish their goals and feel good again.
