Love Is A Verb Counseling

Relationships are an important part of our lives. Positive relationships increase the quality of life, whereas negative relationships have been shown to decrease life expectancy. However, many do not know how to foster healthy relationships and tend to repeat unhealthy patterns. Fortunately, therapeutic exploration can be done, emotional wounds can be healed, and skills can be gleaned through therapy in order to facilitate healthy, and thriving relationships. I am passionate in the art of couples therapy, as well as trained in various relationship issues such as familial dynamics, parenting, divorce, and blended family dynamics. I work through a humanistic & trauma informed lens to advocate for those who feel stuck within themselves & within their relationships. Together we can build self-compassion, communication skills, and shift dysfunctional dynamics towards sustainable & flourishing relationships. I have extensive training in current and cutting-edge couples therapy modalities. My Masters level training in Art Therapy and background in philosophy and creative arts, make me more attuned to alternative styles of communication, including non-verbal, visual, and kinesthetic to allow for fuller communication in those times where words fall short of expressing the full picture. I have also taken various trainings focused in relationships
