Specialties
Prepare Enrich Pre-Marital Counseling Certified Facilitator: This is a leading relationship program, built on a solid research foundation. It is custom tailored to for each couple and provides exercises to build relationship skills. This is what I consider a preventative coaching process where I help couples focus on discussing important things prior to moving in together, marrying or choosing to partner with one another.
I have worked with couples throughout my career. I have additional training in Gottman and am certified in ND Compass (specific to mixed Neuro Type couples). I am also an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider.
There are many theories and types of therapy that can be used when working with couples. I find that no two couples are a like, nor or the two individuals within that couple alike. I will assess your specific needs and will draw from my experience and schooling to not only help explain why you are in your current set of circumstances, but also how we can go about addressing your needs.

I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider - I provide services both to individuals with a diagnosis or who think they might have a diagnosis of ADHD and/or those who are partnered with someone who has or possibly has this diagnosis. The majority of my focus in this area is the way ADHD impacts relationships, communication, misunderstandings and education so you can better understand yourself or your partner.
I have worked with couples and families throughout my career. I have experience working with couples who are in the midst of marital issues, and general problem solving for on-going concerns and with those who want to better understand one another but are not in any type of crisis. I have additional training in Gottman therapy and also a certification in ND (NeuroDiverse) Compass - a type of relationship therapy that is focused on working with mixed Neuro Type couples.
Your life looks delightful but it’s still deeply unfulfilling. You’ve had enough of standing in your own way & giving too much power to what others think. You have bold dreams & desires but seek clarification & encouragement to achieve them. You want to increase your self-esteem to lead to better relationships & career choices as they currently don't feel in alignment with your needs, values, or overall satisfaction. Sometimes you feel outwardly self-confident but internally doubt yourself.
More often than not people reach out to me because they are having communication issues within their relationship. Miscommunication is usually the result of misinterpreting what your partner has said, having different communication styles and the way our brains take in and process the information during that communication. I help clients identify the patterns in their relationships and better understand one another - I provide education, skills and a guidance on how to be open and honest.
