Relationship Coaching
The most successful couples work as a team. Attack the problem and not each other.
Stress Management
The greatest weapon against STRESS is our ability to regulate our affect. I’ll teach you about this in one of our first sessions.
Authentic and Assertive Communicate
I can help you set boundaries where needed and help you with allowing yourself to ask for and receive support to enjoy a more fulfilling life and more satisfying relationships.
What is Therapy?
Who is Therapy For?
Attending therapy can be looked at as maintenance or exercise for your mental health. It doesn’t mean that you’re crazy, broken, or that something is wrong with you. In fact, it is a proactive step you can take to either improve or maintain your mental health.
Therapy can oftentimes seem like a luxury expense to people but it is just as important as a doctor’s appointment or medical treatment. I believe that one of the challenges of placing a priority on mental health is that it’s something you can’t see on a blood test or MRI, but it’s crucial to your well-being. Start taking care of yourself today.
