I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.
I counsel individuals, couples, & groups. Experience with couples working through many different types of issues, involving: infidelity, infertility, communication, etc. Work with individuals dealing with anxiety/depression, and typical ups/downs of life. I completed advanced training in Gottman Therapy, Certification as an Anxiety Specialist, and more.

Groups
Adult Psychotherapy Group
I run 2-3 adult therapy groups and they meet 1-2 times per month. These groups are meant to help people working through or managing any type of life experiences, that may include: relationship issues, divorce, family or friend relationships, life changes, stress management, depression management, etc. The groups range in size from 5-8 people and have been extremely beneficial to those who join. They require a commitment of at least 3 months (3-6 meetings) and I interview and discuss the groups with any client interested in joining.
