Has it been too long since you felt connected to your partner? Do you and your partner fight all the time? Has there been a betrayal in the relationship? A lack of intimacy? Do you feel like roommates? I help you and your partner solve the problems that keep you from having the kind of relationship you said, "I do" to. I show you exactly how to understand each other, break down barriers, and enjoy your partner again. Couples who use my tools create more joy and connection - permanently. For the cost of a divorce, you can instead have the loving, connected, joyous relationship you want.
It is important for people to have a safe place, and I welcome people from all walks of life. This includes people of all colors, belief systems, and sexual orientations. I have experience working with diverse populations, and my goal is for every person who enters my office to feel comfortable and accepted.
Couples counseling is my main specialty, whether premarital counseling or when problems arise. I have training specifically to help couples, whether married or not, achieve their goals and increase harmony within their relationship. See Services page for more details.
Individually, I work with people coping with depression, anxiety, fears, suicidal thoughts or behavior, trauma, chronic/acute illness, goal setting, coping skills, and social skills. In our current world of multiple stressors, I help people develop skills to reduce and/or manage their level of stress, specifically by using Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques.
