If you're struggling with a relationship, a life transition, or a big decision, I can help! We'll work together to help you face these challenges head on. I work collaboratively with both couples and individuals to create awareness and build skills to address areas of imbalance. I have advanced training in the treatment of relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My approach is strengths-based and insight oriented, and treatment is designed to help my clients identify and remove barriers keeping them from living their best lives possible.
I am trained at the highest level in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and have received advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). I am also a certified Grief Counseling Specialist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I also enjoy providing supervision to other clinicians using an integrative model for clinical supervision.
If you would like a trusted partner to provide support as you move through life's journey, I'd love to help. And my group practice, Abound Counseling and Wellness, also has a staff of other wonderful clinicians who offer mental health services, if our schedules don't align. Reach out, and together we can find the right fit for your needs!
