Individuals: Personal struggles arise from many sources, some of which aren't widely recognized. These little known, or 'niche' issues often fly under the radar but can still lead to long-term emotional, relational, and existential distress. These include things like: living through prolonged uncertainty, such as long, drawn out court battles; being dismissed or misdiagnosed by doctors, sometimes repeatedly; being excluded or rejected for questioning or disagreeing with particular viewpoints; spiritual crises, existential dread or a loss of core meaning. Even when these struggles aren't widely acknowledged, their impact is real.
COUPLES: Using evidence-based strategies from Gottman, I work to help partners strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges with greater understanding and trust. I have completed levels 1, 2, and 3 of Gottman Couples Therapy, along with additional training in addressing affairs, trauma, and addictions.
EVENING & WEEKEND appointments also available.
