You want to feel like your old self, but life has been hitting you from every angle & can’t catch a break. You’re normally ambitious & successful, but have gone through a life transition, such as a breakup, promotion, engagement, or move. Adjusting to it causes you to feel stressed, anxious, sad, or affected your confidence, self-esteem & identity. Maybe you're experiencing miscommunication with your partner, wedding anxiety. You’re ready to improve your self-awareness, goals, boundaries & assertiveness. Most of all, you’re ready to become anew, feel in control of your life again. If it sounds like you, let's talk. Y hablo español.
We go through adjustments & need to process to get back on track. I specialize in adjustment disorders & pre-marital therapy. My approach is to have a comfortable convo and listen. You’ll feel like you have an unbiased friend who keeps it real. I self-disclose like Irvin Yalom; you'll get to know me.Our convos will have pop-references, metaphors & bad words.
I am existential, a realist & eclectic, which means we'll explore, find meaning & implement solutions... at your pace. I'm trained in Prepare/Enrich, EMDR & Gottman level 1 for couples. A nationally certified counselor, I'm dually licensed in Marriage/Family Therapy & Mental Health. As seen on TLC's Hot & Heavy season finale. E-mail me to take the next step!
