We live in challenging times, and it’s often hard to know what to do in the face of adversity, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I believe in your ability to overcome life’s obstacles and create a life based on emotional stability and joy.
I and my staff work primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples with issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, gender identity, grief, and marital/relationship strife.
We practice a holistic approach to counseling and psychotherapy that embraces the well-being of the person or couple as a whole – mental, emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual.
No one theoretic approach will work in every situation, but my preferred therapeutic modality leans strongly toward Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with a nod to Existentialism, and my methodology for couples counseling is heavily influenced by Gottman and Imago. I am also trained in EMDR.
We embrace people from all walks of life with unconditional acceptance and without judgment. You are a unique individual with experiences specific to you alone. We will provide you with a safe environment in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. We affirm that everyone has a right to live a healthy, authentic life that is free from judgment and shame. This may include encouraging, supporting, teaching, confronting, and possibly even calling you out on your ‘bull’ if necessary.
