I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and I specialize in working with those who struggle with anxiety, stress, or depression. These issues are particularly important to me because they can be debilitating, and yet they are often treatable. I use evidence-based practices to help reduce and decrease symptoms. It is truly an honor to walk alongside a client as they deepen their self-awareness, ponder their values and align those values with their goals in life. There is great strength in the human spirit, and it can empower individuals to make meaningful changes through discipline and hard work. One of my key interest areas is working with couples. Couples often want to build an improved emotional bond, yet they may feel helpless when it comes to having vulnerable, authentic connection. Some couples become so disconnected that they get stuck. I can help couples learn to communicate in a safe and vulnerable way so they can deepen their connection. Isolation is painful, whereas connectedness can bring profound feelings of joy. By learning new skills, you can expand your ability to build deep relationships. Healthy, interdependent relationships can allow you to become the best version of yourself. It takes courage to ask for help, and discipline to develop new skills.
