If you're struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, or if you're facing a big life decision, I can help! We'll work together to help you face these challenges head on. I have advanced training in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. My approach is strengths-based and 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 can help. My practice, Abound Counseling and Wellness, also has a staff of other wonderful clinicians who offer mental health services, as well. Reach out, and we can find the right fit for your needs!
