I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with the understandable stress, uncertainty and confusion (often anxiety and/depression) that often accompany major life changes and transitions. These can be related to normal developmental stages and life transitions, but often occur due to unexpected disruptions - serious medical issues, job loss, relationship distress and endings, and many others. I like to serve individuals who are experiencing an existential crisis of meaning and help them find solid footing for where they are at NOW in their lives. I provide marriage and couples therapy using both EFT and the Gottman method.
My style as a professional counselor is very warm, welcoming, non-judgmental, genuine, respectful, and supportive. I treat you with utmost respect and courtesy. I am very open, down-to-earth, and partner with you in a collaborative effort. I view you as the expert on your life and provide professional counseling and interventions to bring about change.
Together, we partner to identify the issues that concern you; examine the specific circumstances contributing to the distress of your situation; and gain a clear understanding. We then set meaningful goals and work together to develop and implement a realistic action plan to move toward achieving them and build a life filled with meaning and purpose.

Normal developmental transitions as well as uniquely individual crises (e.g., academic, employment, relational, medical) can trigger many uncomfortable emotions including - anxiety, fear, depression, loss of self-esteem, as well as a crisis of meaning. In Chinese, "Crisis" means both danger AND opportunity; they often can prompt tremendous personal growth leading to a more fulfilling life.
