Services

  • Individual Therapy

    You are confused about why you are so frustrated with your partner, with your family, with your friends. There is a part of you that knows you want these relationships to look differently. To become more balanced so that you don’t feel like you’re working so hard to make everyone else happy, but don’t get what you need in return. That is such a hard place to be because while you want to enjoy being with the folks around you, you also find that it is hard even letting the folks closest you in. I’m here to help you with that!

  • Couples Therapy

    You are here because you are in disbelief about feeling so far away from your partner, and you know it was not always like this. It hurts to know that your relationship looks so different than where it started, and you want to hold on to the hope that the two of you can recover. It’s the arguments, the transitions of life that have been swept aside, or the disappointment in not feeling like they have been there for you, that get in the way. Even with all of this, I believe I can support you in getting the relationship you both want and deserve.
