Services

  • Couples Therapy

    Do you wish to be closer with your partner? Does improved communication, closeness and trust sound good to you? Relationships can be the most powerful force in our life, and they can also be tough. Couples therapy can be useful if you want to improve aspects of your relationship or if you are going through a major life change or dealing with a betrayal. Couples therapy is a safe space where you can work through things with my help and guidance. It’s not about blaming anyone or picking sides but more about learning how to understand each other and move forward.

  • Individual Therapy

    Do you find that your worry keeps you from enjoying life? Do you lie down to sleep and find that your thoughts are more active, keeping you from resting? Are you sometimes unable to stop thinking? Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep? Do your past experiences haunt you? Are you working through a life transition or struggle right now and could use support? Individual therapy is a safe space where you can explore what you are thinking and feeling in order to work towards what you really want out of life.

  • Teletherapy is a way to hold a session virtually, using your computer or smart phone, so you can reduce travel time and enjoy the comfort of your home. Sessions are held on a secure platform.

  • Therapy can be different for each person and there are some similarities as well. We will work together to sort out tough emotions or thoughts, handle stress better, get to know yourself, gain self-awareness, improve relationships and cope with life changes. Therapy can help you to tackle small issues or more serious ones. Some people go weekly and some just prefer to check-in when they are struggling.

  • I offer weekday evening appointments.

  • Yes! I offer a brief complimentary consultation call to discuss the logistical details, get to know each other and ultimately decide if working together makes sense. I look forward to answering any questions that you might have.
