Are you looking to (re)discover your self-worth? Do you struggle with setting boundaries? Do you want to better understand yourself? Are you looking for a therapist who will work with you to navigate those areas? I believe there is a certain kind of freedom in sharing our burdens with a trusted mental health professional. That being said, I know the immense shame and fear that can come with making the first step toward mental wellness. The process of therapy can be so rewarding as we learn to identify our needs.

Self-Permission Therapy does things differently! What is on offer is counseling of a person-centered nature. This means that therapy could be simpler, warmer, and more optimistic if you were encouraged to focus on your current understanding of things rather than on some unconscious motive or someone else's interpretation of the situation. This places emphasis on your current perception and how you live in the here-and-now, and that's where the work begins!

As a Level III Gottman Therapist my training is backed by over 40 years of research identifying what makes relationships work, navigate rough times and repair from trauma and infidelity. I have assisted couples for over 20 years, and I would like to assist you.
