LIFE EMBRACED. LOVE EMBRACED. FAMILY EMBRACED.
Couples Therapy & Pre-marital Counseling
I often notice that couples forget that together, they can create a life that they both truly love. My job is to remind you of that and help create a roadmap of how to get there. The relationship between partners can add the most incredible richness, excitement and beauty to our worlds. Yet so often, we settle into a place of disconnection, resentment, frustration, or disdain.
With a combination of my down-to-earth approach, Level 1 Gottman Method training, & Emotionally Focused Therapy approach, we'll dive in to create the opportunity to fall in love again, take on the world together, and have fun doing it. Let’s work together and get back to thriving.
​
One of the most important investments to make on your journey to forever is in setting a solid foundation. The pre-martial counseling journey is a beautiful opportunity to explore what it takes to set up this foundation, learn how to continually invest into a future of growing alongside one another, and create the kind of life together that you desire. As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, we'll assess and explore your relationship's strengths and areas of growth all while creating habits that lead to lasting love and set in place marriage practices that will keep you growing together for years and years to come.
Fertility, Pregnancy Loss & Perinatal Mood Disorders
For many, the journey towards parenthood can be a long and difficult road. This journey may be filled with negative pregnancy tests, the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, the anxiety of fertility treatments, the pressure of picking the right donor, the trauma of a scary birth or NICU stay, or the heaviness of postpartum depression and anxiety. These difficulties also often put a heavy strain on relationships between partners. Together, we can navigate this journey, heal your heart and work towards a place of peace and thriving.
Anxiety
Stop overthinking & start living! The world that we live in rewards us for dividing our attention, multitasking, and staying on-the-go, yet this pace often leaves us feeling anxious, disconnected & numb. We feel guilt about all of the things we "should" be doing and are unable to be present doing any of the things that we actually are. We feel unable to slow down for fear that we may get stuck in our stream of anxious thoughts, so we avoid them until we can't and then find ourselves googling symptoms of a panic attack. But, thankfully, I have good news- it doesn't have to be like this. If you're ready to stop trying to outrun anxiety, and start living a present, intentional life, let's get started. With a combination of both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques, we'll work together to re-train your brain, rewire those patterns that are keeping you stuck, and get you back to living a life that you truly love.
