~We are engaged and want to ensure our love lasts
~We want to improve communication and enhance connection ~We act more like roommates than lovers and want intimacy ~We fight a lot and we want to be a better model for the kids ~We want to save our marriage and keep our family together ~Stress, alcohol, depression, or anger is impacting my relationship ~Our child is acting out, we have tried everything, nothing works ~We are divorcing and want support for ourselves and children ~We are blending families and could use some guidance |
My clients work hard to create full and satisfying lives. Some clients want short term counseling on a few specific issues. Others come in during a state of marital, family, or personal crisis. Many clients begin long term therapy after struggling quietly for years. Regardless of what challenges are brought forward, I help my clients reach their specific relationship, family, and personal wellbeing goals.
