Are you struggling to work through personal or relationship issues you've been unable to resolve on your own? Are you finally feeling ready to address the anxiety and/or depression that has been holding you back from life? There is no reason to feel alone or stuck; it is possible to work through these issues, and to feel happy again. I have experienced much success helping my clients resolve their issues, while creating a nurturing and safe environment. I incorporate humor and friendship in my practice and have found this helpful in furthering the progress and positive therapeutic experience.
I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples. My primary focus includes working with relationship problems, with a special focus on infidelity. I also focus on working with people who have emotional and trauma-related issues, as well as mood disorders and anxiety issues.
Coastal Counseling is a group of highly skilled and professional therapists who are able to treat a wide range of issues, using a variety of approaches. We share the belief that the most important part of a therapeutic relationship is for the client to feel comfortable, through friendship and acceptance.
