Are you experiencing relationship problems – such as ongoing conflict, trust issues, or feeling distant? Maybe you have had an infidelity in your relationship. If you are, there is help and hope. Through a process of improving your communication, learning how to have productive conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, and improving the friendship and connection in your partnership; you can have a close, loving relationship. I have completed Level 2 Gottman Method Couples training. Completed a Sex Therapy Certificate from The Buehler Institute Psychological Services, Inc. For couples, I will guide you through the challenges you face during various life transitions; a betrayal in the relationship, the challenges of having a blended family, going through a divorce and coparenting, as well as difficulties in getting on the same page. Not only will you get an attentive listener and a supportive environment through out the healing process, you will walk away with tools that you can use. Both people will feel heard and understood by each other as well as by me. The Gottman Method allows me to provide real tools for you to learn to have a better relationship, improve your sex life, grow closer together and finally communicate in a satisfying way. Most couples wait at least 6 years after they actually need therapy to attend. Don’t wait that long before getting help. Sometimes couples aren’t sure if the relationship is worth saving. You can come and explore that through counseling without pressure of a specific outcome. You will find a supportive environment for you to explore all of your options. For individuals facing difficulties with anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse; I can help you get to the other side with compassion, understanding, solutions and hope. Many people struggle with these issues and feel like they should just get better on their own. Often waiting just makes it worse. You will find that I can walk with you in this process to help you heal faster. After experiencing the loss of several close family members as a child and teenager, I started seeing a therapist to help process my grief and developed an interest in the therapeutic process as a result of my positive experience with her. About 10 years later I started therapy again for relationship issues and ended up deciding to pursue a career in the mental health field because the year I spent going to weekly therapy sessions improved my quality of life so significantly. My own experiences shaped my style as a therapist because I learned how valuable the connection formed through the therapeutic relationship can be. I am direct, yet compassionate and my clients know that I can be counted on to respond genuinely and allow them to feel understood. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and my two pugs, Ruby and Scarlett. I love going to sporting events, especially when my kids are playing, and being anywhere near water during the summer months.
