Whatever is bringing you to therapy, you have the tools to change and grow. I’ve got your back.
What you can expect when you work with me:
to be supported, always.
a fresh, objective perspective and non-judgmental feedback.
techniques to help you tap into your own innate wisdom.
an assessment of your current situation, from which we will build a program to meet your long-term and short-term goals.
One-On-One sessions
It’s not fun to deal with anxiety, overwhelm and frustration. Sometimes, just getting through each day is a lot to manage. Work, relationships and transitions are hard. Every therapist has their own style. I am very engaged and interactive. And funny. (Yes, that can actually be good). I will work with you to help you move through this tough time. And, if I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding someone who is.
I can help you with:
Career and life path
Anxiety, Depression and Stress
Sex and intimacy
Men’s issues
Anxiety, panic attacks, and depression
Couples therapy and premarital counseling
Couples counseling can be booked with your partner or on your own.
My approach to counseling is warm, caring, and real. Each session is custom-created for you in order to meet your needs in the moment. Together we'll create a living road map leading you to greater fulfillment and joy.
Expect to develop healthy communication skills, rebuild trust and closeness, and let go of old habits that are no longer working. We’ll sort through complex problems and articulate clear solutions so you can start having fun again.
QUESTIONS YOU’LL CONSIDER IN COUPLES THERAPY

Under duress, do you have the courage to seek your partner’s reality and the courage to express your reality when the stakes are high?
Can you legitimately expect your partner to treat you better than you treat him/her?
Can you legitimately expect your partner to treat you better than you treat yourself?
If you want your partner to change, do you think about what you can do to make it easier?
Most of the ineffective things we do in relationships fall into just a few categories:
Blame or attempt to dominate
Disengage/withdraw
Resentful compliance

Denial or confusion
