My Approach to Helping
I partner with my clients to develop greater ease in day-to-day interactions and relationships with partners, family members, friends and co-workers.
I work with individual adults looking to reduce anxiety, strengthen their connections with themselves and others, increase effective communication, and create more fulfilling relationships.
More Info About My Practice
I like to begin the counseling process with a phone consultation (free) so we can get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit for each other. One important factor in successful therapy outcomes is a strong working relationship between therapist and client.
If we decide to move forward, the first session will include some information gathering and goal-setting so we both know the focus of your work moving forward. The focus may change over time, which is why I like to revisit goals for therapy periodically to ensure the process continues to feel valuable and effective.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Anxiety: We'll explore the source of your anxiety to help you understand it and develop self-compassion. Then, we'll practice specific skills designed to help you help yourself to reduce anxiety, and experience more ease in everyday life.
Relationship stress: As a marriage and family therapist, I have unique experience and skills to help you understand conflict and distance in your relationships with a partner, adult child, parent, friend and others. We'll start by getting a better understanding of the problem, and then develop specific skills to help you find more compassion for yourself and others, communicate more effectively, establish healthy boundaries and reduce conflict.
