In my couples and marriage counseling, I use a combination of Gottman based strategies and Emotionally Focused Therapy. It is designed to help you reconnect and realign. Life throws a lot at us—work pressures, financial stress, family demands, parenting, and social obligations—making it hard to keep your relationship a priority. If you’re feeling like you’re losing touch with yourself, your partner, or the bond you once shared, therapy can offer the space and support to find your way back.

In one-on-one divorce counseling, you’ll have the opportunity to explore and work through difficult emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety, guilt, rejection or depression. Divorce counseling empowers you to reclaim your life by guiding you through the grieving process and helping you heal from the loss of your marriage. It also gives you the insight to understand what may have contributed to the relationship’s breakdown, so you can grow and build healthier connections in the future.

Although anxiety may feel like your default mode for navigating life, anxiety counseling can help you shift that perspective. It offers a space to explore your own needs and begin making choices based on what serves you—not what pleases others.

I am trained in Internal Family Systems and find that parts work is beneficial for many people, particularly for those who have experienced trauma or have a strong inner critic.

Many mental health challenges stem from unhelpful thought patterns and self-defeating cycles that keep us stuck. As a trained and objective professional, I can help you recognize these patterns and offer a supportive, nonjudgmental perspective.

I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than spending all their energy trying to eliminate anxiety, avoid painful feelings, or change thoughts they find distressing, ACT helps clients learn to make room for these experiences while focusing on what matters most to them. Together, we explore personal values and identify practical steps toward living a more meaningful, fulfilling life.
