I work with teens and adults who struggle with anger and depression. They feel like a ticking time bomb exploding here and there-they're just trying to hold it in. Or, they might be totally shut down and checked out. They try, but ask themself, “What’s the point?” They’re not sure what to do and it’s messing them up. I also work with couples and families who struggle with conflict. Their interactions are filled with accusations like “Why!?” “What’s wrong with you!?” and “Are you fucking kidding me?” They’re tired of feeling pissed off and shut out. They just want to feel good about their relationship.
I offer my clients ways to find relief from the stressors that cause them anger and resentment. I’m Gottman Level 1 trained and trained in acceptance commitment therapy. We decode your thoughts and emotions and find solutions to fix your problems. For couples, we work on improving your friendship, while releasing tension within your relationship.
It’s exhausting continually fighting about the same issues over and over again. You’re tired of feeling angry all the time. You’re done feeling checked out. Deep down you know something needs to change. You want better. You deserve it. You do. Feel free to reach out. We’ll work at it together.
