I draw from knowledge and skills within a variety of evidenced-based therapeutic modalities (DBT, CBT, SFBT, MI, MBCT) to support preteens, teens, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression,
relationship
issues, addiction, lack of motivation, anger, chronic illness, OCD, and neurodiversity.
Life can present challenges that are difficult to navigate alone; our experiences and relationships, as well as our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors may inhibit us from living and feeling the way we would like to! I aim to support people in navigating life's challenges through providing a warm and caring space for introspection and growth. I create this space by providing genuine empathy, useful education, and appropriate challenges to the people I work with to support them to build towards living their best life.

Perhaps you find your blocks manifesting as depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image struggles, disconnection from others and yourself, or

counseling integrates somatic and mindfulness based approaches with the Psychobiological Approach to
Couples
Therapy (PACT) developed by Stan Tatkin, author of Wired For Love. We aim to support partners in learning to repair emotional ruptures through a deep and loving understanding of each other. We work as a team with your
relationship

I believe we all have the innate capacity for healing, and by following the body's cues, it will show us how to do just that. I like to work with the nervous system: through big-T Traumas a little-t traumas, many of us are not as regulated as we could be. Reasons to work with me may include depression, anxiety, addiction,
relationship
difficulties, spiritual emergency, insomnia, trauma, autoimmune issues, self-esteem, clarity of purpose, and deepening connection to yourself.

I offer individuals and
couples
support in getting unstuck from limiting stories of self and in exploring the unresolved pain of past conditioning that often feeds anxiety, depression and unhealthy relationships.
I see therapy not as the means to fix a broken self, but a process of getting to know and accept your whole self. Through that process of self-discovery, exploring your
relationship
with habitual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Learning to reframe the potential in challenges, obstacles and fears. Creating space to practice being curious about yourself with less judgement, being a supportive friend to yourself, acknowledge the wisdom of your experience and honor your core values. Ultimately, through the practice of a more open awareness, welcoming a truer sense of who you are and a more meaningful connection to life.

I specialize in relationships - I work with individual clients and with
couples
to improve their relationships and break toxic patterns.
**I am taking new online clients* Hello - I help women break free from manipulative relationships. We can feel so trapped by toxic coaches, bosses, partners and family members. Many times these people appear to be great, fantastic people and the toxicity is hidden so we feel at fault; we end up feeling crazy. You are going to learn to recognize your own needs and feelings. You will see what behaviors are OK and which ones are abusive. You will forgive yourself for your choices and participation. And you will see that you are not crazy. Your inner voice is correct; your compass points to true North; you will find a way forward.

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.
