*Currently accepting new clients for Intensive Therapy; waitlist for all other services.* Sometimes RELATIONSHIP issues can feel overwhelming and as though things are cycling with no end in sight. The stress and uncertainty can be emotionally paralyzing or explosive. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, confused, stressed, or strained…I am here to support you as you gain clarity, peace, healing, and confidence. I hold a relational approach to recovery and healing and respect self-determination, as individuals and couples find clarity in the direction that is best for them.
I specialize in couples' work and believe that relationship recovery is possible! I am Gottman Level 3 trained and offer support to couples who are wanting to make improvements in their relationship/marriage and the way that they communicate within it. I offer support to couples dealing with trauma, substance use, and the aftermath of affairs.
As a Certified Brainspotting (BSP) professional, I utilize BSP to reduce unwanted suffering/emotional distress and to promote personal growth. This rapid, highly effective mind/body centered therapy allows traumas to be processed without the need for the telling or the retelling of your trauma story. BSP therapy can bring deep healing to your journey.
