Change in your life and relationships are possible, and can be easier when you have someone to work alongside you to create the changes you want.
Whether you’re experiencing problems with depression, anxiety, identity, or difficulties in your relationships, I aim to create a safe space to process and explore the areas in your life that need healing. I believe that through bringing a compassionate awareness of the dynamics playing out, we can more effectively make choices that empower us to live a more fulfilling life and have more satisfying relationships. Through a variety of different modalities and interventions, together we can create a plan that best works for you.
I show up authentically in the room, so teens often respond to that and I love doing teen therapy with them as well. Teaching new skills in how to navigate life at this important time can last a lifetime for them. Whether your teen may be struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, the pressures of school and peer relationships, I can work with them on building a solid sense of self, to build coping skills such as mindfulness and stress reduction, social skills and communication with friends and family.
Couples can benefit from my training in the Gottman Method Couples therapy program. Many couples come to therapy for a specific challenge such as infidelity or addiction, many couples come in to help their relationship be the best that it can be. We work together to develop new skills to learn how to communicate better, grow closer, recover from hurt, rebuild trust and get on the same page again. You will find that the relationship is my client. You each will have your position honored and I will use tools to help you share with each other what needs to be said.
I began my professional life as a high school foreign language teacher. It was through this work that I not only developed a passion for helping others, but specifically working with people to develop their personal growth and inner resilience. As such, I will always have a love for working with teens. However over the years I have also developed a love for working with children, families, adults, and couples. I would love the opportunity to work with you on your journey to healing, growth, and more fulfilling life and relationships. I have completed Gottman Level 2 training under the supervision of Certified Gottman Method Therapist Nancy Ryan, LMFT.
I look forward to working with you.
