I see adult Individuals and
Couples
, as they bridge the disparity between their current situation and their ideal.
Life changes constantly! Even with "good" change, we have a grief response! I work well with those experiencing sadness, worry and/or grief. I see Individuals and
Couples
who are in a "State of Adjustment" and having some difficulty. It may be an adjustment to the loss of a loved one through death or divorce, to hearing a painful truth, to a betrayal or to our "ideal" not being met.
Couples
, especially those with children, experience great adjustments in their
relationship
to their own Being as well as to each other. I work collaboratively and with great sensitivity.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or you feel a burden you can't quite relieve yourself of. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes healing and being. The development of a therapeutic
relationship
and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

Do you feel pressure to “have it all together”? You might feel stuck personally or professionally but unsure how to make a move forward out of fear, self-doubt, or shame. With the stress of today's world, I help people take a closer look at what no longer serves them and how to build the life and relationships you want. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression,
relationship
issues, and more. I also have a passion for men’s mental health as I have found that men can struggle to find a place where they feel heard, understood, and validated without judgment; and I work to cultivate a safe and supportive space for all.

I work with my clients to identify what they value, change their
relationship
with their anxiety and live a life full of meaning.
Does your life seem put together but nervousness is your constant companion? Are you striving to make things perfect in your professional and personal life, even though it makes you feel exhausted and overwhelmed at times? Do you struggle to be present and enjoy the moment? You may be living with high functioning anxiety. While this anxiety can be a powerful motivator, it can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster. It may be impacting your sleep, your relationships and making you feel restless in your life.

in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have training in EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Eating Disorders, Alcoholism, PTSD, OCD, and
Couples
Therapy.
Do you feel controlled by food, rather than in control of it ? Are you obsessed with eating, dieting or bingeing? Does your scale determine your mood? Is your life strongly impacted by your weight? Life doesn't have to be a weight struggle.
Learn the difference between head and body hunger. Decipher what your obsessive behavior is really saying. Acquire physical, mental and emotional balance.
Whether it is eating, drinking, anger, spending, controlling, an addiction is a mal-adaptive attempt at managing feelings and escaping discomfort.

I believe every person is unique with distinct experiences, characteristics, and needs. My treatment is therefore an integration of different approaches tailored to the client's individualized needs. Symptom relief and attainment of goals begin with the establishment of a collaborative
relationship
in which my client can actively participate, experiences trust and confidence in my work, and feels respected, heard, and understood.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
