My Approach to Helping

As we move through our lives we are faced with changes due to moving, dating, our schooling, marriage, divorce, death, illness, career/job changes, and caregiving to our children and/or our parents. Often, our learned coping methods do not help us navigate the new situations in our lives. I work with clients to develop their skills of resilience and areas of strength to develop new ways of adapting to their changed worlds. My approach is collaborative because, at the end of the day, I want my clients to live the lives they desire with the skills they have developed through our work.

More Info About My Practice

I use a sliding scale based on need, which is the reason I do not accept insurance. My fees run $50 to $100. I have hours in the evening and on the weekends to accommodate my clients' schedules.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have had training by Jon Kabat-Zinn (Mindfulness Therapy), John Forsyth (Acceptance and Commitment), Rick Hansen (Buddha's Brain) and Daniel Amen (Change Your Brain; Change Your Life).Helping clients develop their own coping skills to live the types of lives that they desire.

I have developed trainings on anger management and conflict resolution within relationships to help people develop healthy ways to express important emotions such as anger.

I am also certified as a Level Two Gottman Therapist in the relationship program developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman.

I have training in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR techniques.
