People come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, and worn out. My goal is to provide compassionate support to my clients during painful transitions, help them gain clarity, develop coping tools, and improve communication skills. Couples come to me feeling disconnected and resentful. I help partners learn new, effective ways to communicate. I build on couples' strengths to help them find a fun, passionate, and intimate way of living. Parents come to me feeling heartbroken and confused by their interactions with their children. I help parents heal their own childhood wounds so that they can parent in a loving way.My area of expertise is counseling individuals, couples, and families affected by catastrophic injury, traumatic brain injury, and other medical issues. I help people respond calmly to crisis and harness their ability to cope. My other specialties include divorce recovery, couples counseling, addiction, depression, anxiety, and adjustment to life transitions.I received my certification in hypnotherapy in January, 2014. Many of my clients have found hypnosis to be very effective in treating anxiety and depression, facilitating healthy weight loss, changing habits, and increasing self-compassion.
