Do you want to move on from losses and changes in your life? Are you navigating rocky areas in your relationships? Are anxiety and stress interfering with your best life? I help individuals and couples to navigate life transitions. When anxiety and stress cause you to feel stuck, it's time to reach out for professional help. I create a space where you can safely explore your feelings and fears, hopes and dreams. I want to help you gain meaning and purpose in your life, and guide you to tap into your hidden strengths and potential. Go on — I'm listening!

For couples counseling, I'm trained in Gottman Method Level 1 and I'm a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator. I'm certified by the Couples Institute - Developmental Therapy for Couples. All couples are welcome.

The gold standard therapy for anxiety and depression is cognitive behavioral therapy. You'll be helped to track, identify, label and reframe in a way that makes a difference in your life. Grief work looks like recognizing your symptoms of grief, and living with grief, not in spite of. My education and experience allow me to effectively help you to navigate these difficulties.
