Are you having a hard time trusting your partner after a betrayal or an affair? Do you and your partner have the same arguments over and over but never seem to get anywhere? Did the stress from conflict get in the way of your emotional connection? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you can benefit from collaborating with a therapist who is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and tackle the real issues.
I am not a therapist who sits in a comfy chair and stares at you for 50 minutes. My interactive and direct style helps clients address the root causes of their relationship dysfunction and issues causing distress. By using an integrative approach, I help clients strengthen communication, heal from trauma, rebuild connection, and reestablish trust.
It's hard to balance the pressures of life while also managing the pressures within your relationships. It feels tough right now but there is hope! You don't have to struggle with rebuilding your relationship or healing from trauma alone. I am here to provide you with support, emotional safety, and the challenge you need to create meaningful change.
