I endeavor to offer hope and support as you strive to be happier in life's journeys. Together, we can untie your emotional knots by discovering new ideas and solutions. Individuals, couples, and couples-to-be can learn new and better ways of communicating. Having a trusted, non-judgmental professional in whom to confide can make a big difference. We all have "baggage". Spend some time with me in a safe space and let's sort through things that no longer serve you.
Specializing in new and/or engaged couples, my counseling experience includes individual and couples' counseling. I am trained in Gottman Couples' Therapy: non-judgmental, compassionate, and statistically-based. Teaching couples how to re-connect, build admiration and communicate honestly re-establishes trust, and better manages conflict.
Don't struggle alone. We don't know what we don't know. There are always new things to learn. We can work together to enhance your strengths and develop healthy communication, adopt new skills and manage the inevitable conflicts and stresses of life. Take that first step toward change and feeling better. You CAN be happier!
