My specialties include coaching, couples / marital counseling, individual therapy, family of origin issues, and I have a wide depth of experience treating those with depression and anxiety problems.
COACHING
As a Board Certified Coach, I offer coaching for you and your business. Working together we align your goals and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself, in relationship with your peers, colleagues, and employees. In addition we look at work-life balance and wellness strategies. My style incorporates my many years of experience counseling people in relationships, core principles of neuroscience, analytical psychology and leadership philosophy. We work together to help you become a better manager, and problem solver. We develop your emotional intelligence and deepen your self-awareness. I possess extensive knowledge of group dynamics and have studied in depth with an instructor from the Wharton’s Executive MBA program while at the University of Pennsylvania.
COUPLES THERAPY
I love my work as a couples’ therapist. I work with my clients to identify and resolve conflicts within relationships and strengthen communication and intimacy. By examining and raising awareness of how past experiences shape our patterns and responses within relationships, I help people gain insight to communicate better, establish healthy boundaries, and deal more effectively with problems.
I am a Gottman Seven Principles Educator, which enables me to teach relationship and communication skills to provide you the skills from the book, “The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work” by John Gottman, Ph.D., of the Gottman Institute.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
People come to see me in individual counseling when they need help because of feelings of depression, anxiety and difficult life issues, (job stress, relationship difficulties). I work to understand my clients particular needs in the hopes of addressing them in a manner which will bring greater happiness to themselves and their relationships. I will work with you to understand the problems you are currently encountering, whether it be at work, with a relationship, or with how you are currently coping with stress. I will help you learn new techniques to improve your ability to handle stress, and feel better about your approach to problems.
