It is a proven powerful method, providing a more empathic way of viewing our relationship with our spouse or partner, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Sometimes we all need help recognizing and understanding what life is trying to tell us. We are faced with challenges, crises and conflicts. Working through these issues, though incredibly difficult, help us to grow, become stronger and more self-confident. With respect and compassion, together we can explore the complex issues that are creating pain in your life and keeping you from being the "real" you. Often we don’t recognize our individual issues until they begin to impact our relationships; our spouses, our partners, our friends, and even our children.

I've helped clients work through depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment to life changes, and relationship issues.
If you’re searching for a therapist you know there has to be a good fit between the two of you in order for that partnership to be successful. I don’t believe there is a one size fits all when it comes to life’s challenges and therefore no one size fits all when I work with clients. I take a strength based approach and use various modalities to facilitate insight, reach personal goals and work through issues. My style is non-judgmental, challenging, sensitive, and supportive. I see clients using a telehealth platform. Clients appreciate the ease and effectiveness of this modality. I hope you will also.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
