THE TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR WELLNESS IS NOW.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a form of therapy in which the client is treated on a one-on-one basis with a therapist. Individual therapy helps a single person work through personal issues which negatively impact your daily life and goals. Together we will discuss your goals and agree together on your treatment direction. Your voice and participation are welcome and important in the work we do together.

Couples/Marriage Therapy
Couples/Marriage Therapy works with two people who have created an interdependent relationship. I have been specializing in couples work for 20 years and feel that therapy is a great way to strengthen, understand and have a more connected marriage or relationship. A couple doesn’t need to have conflict in order to benefit from couples therapy.
How can Couples Therapy help?
Couples can deepen their partnership by better learning about stages of relationships, understanding differences, navigating personal space, cultural values and differences, knowing someone is right for them, understanding control loops.
Pre-marital work is the ideal way to proactively start your marriage in a healthy and engaged way, navigating the first few years together, balancing family dynamics vs. your marriage needs, and addressing new challenges and transitions that impact a couple’s environment and energy along your collective life paths.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for both individuals where each is heard and respected. There is no bias, no taking sides and no agenda on my part other than improving your happiness and connectedness. Each voice is welcome and invited throughout our work together.
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing
I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and passionate about the benefits, witnessed positive impacts and effective outcomes using this therapy modality.
EMDR is a research based integrative psychotherapy framework that helps with healing intense negative or painful events or trauma memories (past or present) and addresses the negative images, triggers and narratives that may be impacting your life – no matter how much you try to manage them.
It is Not talk therapy – EMDR uses the natural healing ability of your brain, using one or more forms of bilateral stimulation (using both sides of your brain) to slow down your over-stimulated Amygdala and synchronizes brain waves to access and reprocess those unstored painful, negative or trauma memories. The goal is to reprocess those painful sensory memories and triggers into more adaptive feelings and thoughts without the intense distress of those memories.

Other specialties
Emotional Intelligence I am certified to administer of EQi-2.0 and I teach Emotional Intelligence individually and to small and large groups. Why do we need emotional intelligence? We live in a world where getting along with others and relationships are a foundational factor in all that we do. Emotional intelligence is a great way to understand yourself, your emotions and behaviors and learn how to understand relationships around you with more clarity and increased knowledge that in turn helps you navigate all people interactions to meet your needs. Emotional Intelligence can enhance every area of your life and build more authentic connections and relationships in home, career and social settings. I am 100% confident, that just participating in the assessment and the debriefing session to learn more about your strengths, will change your perspective in a powerful way.
Conflict Management I am certified in TKI, The Thomas Kilmann Conflict Management assessment. AND conflict management is so much more than an assessment. Do you avoid difficult conversations, do you cringe at discussing differences, are you afraid to assert your needs, do you know how to calmly approach and repair conflicts? Then this focus is for you! Learn what drives conflict, what a conflict needs and how to view a situation and know what approach will best navigate conflict and differences. Feel more confident, less avoidant and get your needs met when discussing or managing differences.
Webinars, Workshops, Corporate Trainings, Team Building – Invest in your self, staff, team and divisions. There is nothing like the power of group trainings and ways to learn and level up capacity together. With management experience in public municipalities, non-profit and private sectors I bring the hands on knowledge of your experience and venue. Whether individual, team, group or 360º assessments and work, the community and culture of a workplace quickly shifts to a more effective and motivated environment or organization. Identify inequity, micro-aggressions, increase collaboration and communication, learn to manage conflict while keeping productivity in tact.
