What I Do

Gottman Method Couples Counseling

The Gottman Method of Couples Therapy is based on Dr. John Gottman’s research that began in the 1970’s and continues to this day. The research has focused on what makes relationships succeed or fail. From this research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman have created a method of therapy that emphasizes a “nuts-and-bolts” approach to improving clients’ relationships. This method is designed to help teach specific tools to deepen friendship and intimacy in your relationship. To help you productively manage conflicts, you will be given methods to manage “resolvable problems” and dialogue about “gridlocked” (or perpetual) issues. We will also work together to help you appreciate your relationship’s strengths and to gently navigate through its vulnerabilities.

Career Counseling
and Expat Life

Often, the concerns and issues clients bring into therapy touch upon issues of their life's purpose, and finding meaning in what they do. Client's questions about career need more than just a referral out to some generic online career fit assessment. Consultations include the Strong Interest Inventory® and a deep-dive, personalized interpretative report designed to assist therapists in better addressing the underlying issues driving their client's questions surrounding possible vocational and academic paths.

Career Counseling for Teens

Is your teen still trying to find their way forward? Navigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood can be overwhelming for both teens and their parents. As your teen approaches these pivotal years, they may face uncertainty about their future—whether it’s choosing the right college, finding a career that aligns with their passions, or managing the anxiety that often accompanies these big decisions. My career counseling services are designed to guide your teen through this pivotal time, offering personalized support that helps them clarify their goals, build confidence, and make informed decisions. I specialize in helping English-speaking teens who are considering studying or eventually working in another country, providing them with the insights they need to succeed on a global scale. Additionally, I utilize the most trusted and reliable career assessment tests to ensure your teen receives the best guidance possible. Together, we can ensure your teen feels empowered to enter the next chapter of their life with clarity and purpose.

The Strong Interest Inventory® assessment is a career exploration and planning tool designed to identify an individual’s interests and work preferences. It helps people explore potential careers and educational pathways that align with their interests, leading to more informed decisions and successful, fulfilling careers.
