I work with people in messy, complicated relationships.
Are you fed up, worn down, and overwhelmed by someone?
My job is to help you sort through it. My preferred method is to go deep, and get a better understanding of your experience. I want to know how you've gotten so comfortable being uncomfortable. I want to understand how you've learned certain patterns of thinking and doing. I want to help you figure out what exactly you want, and we'll come up with a plan for getting you there.
I hold two master's degrees (one in clinical mental health counseling and another in communication). I'm trained in a variety of approaches, ranging from EMDR to EFT, discernment counseling, DBT, Gottman Level 1, Relational Life Therapy (Terry Real), Hoffman Institute, hypnosis and coherence therapy. I also have 20 years experience teaching college classes and business workshops in conflict communication for tens of thousands of people worldwide.
Life can get complicated. I’m not here to judge; I’m here to get into those difficult parts alongside you. My goal for you is to move from confusion/chaos to well-being...giving you a deeper understanding of yourself, your needs, and a strategy for feeling better.
In the world of counseling, we say that nothing changes until something changes. While this may sound obvious at first, many of us hope for things to be different while doing things the same way we’ve always done them before. To transform, you'll need a new approach. This can include:
-
Becoming aware of your own needs and improving your connection to yourself
-
Identifying patterns that have appeared and reappeared throughout your life
-
Considering your relationships and boundaries from a new perspective
-
Reprograming your brain in a way that allows you to disconnect from your default thoughts and reactions.
-
Updating stories in your life that may be outdated
