Counseling is a resource that can be helpful at any given life stage to equip clients with coping skills to handle anything that life throws at them. I connect well with teens and young adults navigating life changes and stressors. I enjoy using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as I believe that everyone can benefit from emotional regulation skills, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. I am also trained in the Gottman Method of couples counseling and enjoy working with couples to improve communication and connection.

Guilt and shame running the show? You wake up wondering if you did enough or maybe even are enough each morning. Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list?

Then overwhelm and procrastination sets in. You may be experiencing relational burnout and people pleasing tendencies. If you're ready to start feeling like yourself again, you're in the right place.
