My goal is to empower clients so they can live their best life. I do this by offering a caring, non-judgmental space for clients to explore what is distressing them. I help clients recognize the patterns in their behavior and/or communication styles that cause difficulty in their relationships or their life, in general.
My education and experience working with hundreds of clients and parents provides the skills I need to effectively work with clients on communication patterns, stress and coping strategies, discipline structure (for parenting classes), and self-care.
Who I work with:
Adults that are anxious
Adults with ADHD
Adults with workplace stress, workaholism and burnout
Pregnant women or postpartum women
Women with fertility issues
Women who have suffered a miscarriage
Adults with chronic stress, anger or overwhelm
Couples dealing with infidelity
Couples disconnected after having kids
Couples with high conflict or resentment
Couples with family conflict
Couples struggling with infertility
Couples having difficulty communicating with each other
