Hi! I am so excited that you are interested in starting therapy. I work with folks of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender expressions, and relationship styles (ages 13+). I have a particular passion for working with couples and other dynamics hoping to improve their relationship, as well as people struggling with anxiety, stress, and life adjustments/transitions.
In therapy, you can expect to be heard and validated as you process the issues you’re experiencing, learn tools to manage them, and discover ways to reduce their overall impact on your life. From the beginning, I work to create a space where you feel safe and comfortable sharing information about your life with me. I don’t believe that therapy always needs to be serious, so I incorporate humor when appropriate.
I have level 1 and 2 clinical training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which is one of the leading approaches to couples therapy. I am also trained in Prepare/Enrich, a tool for premarital counseling and strengthening relationships at all stages. If you are interested in any sort of relationship counseling, but do not see a time on my schedule that works for you, call the office to inquire about other times and extended hours that may be available!
It can be hard to take that first step to seek out a therapist, but by doing so, you have already demonstrated motivation and courage to face the challenges in your life. I believe that everyone has the potential to create a life that they enjoy, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to attaining that.
