Individual therapy
Life is a lot harder than I think any of us want to admit. Sometimes, we all need a little extra help to be the best version of ourselves as we can be. In individual counseling, my focus is on providing a safe, open-minded space where you can truly be yourself. I believe that each person’s path is unique, and I’m here to support you in exploring whatever challenges or goals you bring to our sessions. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable, using approaches tailored to your needs and strengths. My goal is to help you feel heard, valued, and empowered as you move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.
I use a blend of strength-based and goal-focused techniques to help you create the life you want. Together, we’ll uncover and build upon your unique strengths, transforming them into tools for achieving your goals. My approach is all about fostering self-confidence and resilience, so you feel empowered to make choices that align with your values and aspirations. Step by step, we’ll work on turning your vision into reality, with practical strategies that support lasting, meaningful change.
In my work with clients who have experienced complex trauma, I provide a safe and supportive space to process and heal. Together, we explore and gently work through difficult memories and emotions, helping you make sense of your experiences without feeling overwhelmed. My approach is grounded in empathy and patience, guiding you to reconnect with your inner strengths and resilience. With time, we’ll find a path forward that feels empowering and hopeful, allowing you to move toward a life that feels whole and fulfilling.
couples therapy
I use solution-focused techniques to help couples identify what’s working and build on those strengths to overcome challenges. This approach emphasizes practical, achievable steps toward positive change, allowing us to move forward without getting stuck in past conflicts. Together, we’ll focus on creating a vision for your relationship that feels fulfilling and realistic, identifying small but meaningful actions that can lead to lasting improvement. My goal is to help you both feel empowered and hopeful as you strengthen your partnership.
In my work with couples, I often use Gottman-style techniques to improve communication and deepen understanding between partners. This approach is all about building healthy, constructive dialogue, even around tough topics. Together, we’ll work on skills like active listening, expressing needs respectfully, and managing conflict in a way that strengthens your bond. These tools can help you and your partner feel more connected, understood, and supported in your relationship, bringing greater ease and openness to your conversations.
I offer a safe and open space for partners to explore issues around intimacy and sexuality. Together, we work through concerns, uncovering any obstacles that might be impacting your connection. My approach is respectful and nonjudgmental, helping each partner feel heard and supported. Whether you’re navigating mismatched desires, communication barriers, or just looking to deepen your intimate bond, we’ll work collaboratively to rebuild trust, openness, and a fulfilling sense of closeness, leading to more rewarding physical intimacy and a deeper connection with your partner.
family therapy
In family therapy, I help families identify patterns that might be causing tension or misunderstandings—often without anyone realizing they’re there. These dynamics can sneak into our lives, shaping how we interact and communicate. I work alongside you to uncover these maladaptive patterns, bringing awareness to what might feel “stuck” and offering tools to create healthier, more supportive connections. Together, we can build new ways of relating to each other that feel positive and aligned with each family member’s needs.
I offer a supportive space for parents navigating the challenges and joys of raising children. My approach to parenting support is collaborative and compassionate, helping you find practical strategies that align with your values and family dynamics. Together, we work on building stronger communication, understanding behavior patterns, and fostering positive connections within your family. Parenting is a journey, and I’m here to provide guidance and encouragement, helping you feel more confident and connected along the way.
I often use strategic family therapy to address specific challenges by focusing on practical steps and targeted solutions. This approach helps families shift patterns and improve interactions by making intentional, meaningful changes to how they relate to one another. Working together, we break down larger issues into manageable steps, empowering each family member to contribute to positive change. My goal is to help your family create a more harmonious and supportive environment, one thoughtful step at a time.
