Counseling for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Welcome
Do you feel like you want and/or need to talk to someone who can help you figure out your current situation because what you have tried isn't working? Do you have difficulty in your relationships with others or with yourself (romantic, family, or platonic relationships)? Do you have difficulty with your emotions as a result? If so, my services can help.
My Approach
I believe you are the expert of your own life because you have lived your life longer than I have known you; you have made choices in your life with the information that you have had and the tools you obtained through your life.
I focus on helping you explore, deepen, and repair your relationships (even if they are not in the room), from experiences you have had; our work can create new chapters and new stories through a collaborative, empowering, and encouraging approach that fosters yours and others' autonomy.
Do you have difficulty in your relationships with others or with yourself?
If so, my services can help.
Please browse this website and feel free to contact me! I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation; we will discuss the initial steps of the therapy process and answer any questions you may have.
