Summary
I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. I enjoy working with teens and adults, both individual and couples, who want more out of their relationships or are experiencing stress. When working with couples, I use Gottman Method Level 2 techniques and materials.
