My approach

Welcome to Peakworks Counseling! I'm so glad you're here. For the past five years, I've had the honor of helping couples like you navigate challenges and find deeper connections. At Peakworks, I combine Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches to address communication issues, trust, parenting conflicts, financial disagreements, and intimacy concerns. Our warm, safe, and holistic space ensures you feel supported every step of the way. Together, we'll work through your conflicts and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship. Your journey to a happier, healthier relationship starts here. Let's take that first step together. I offer a warm, safe space using a blend of evidence-based and Eastern approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, mindfulness, and yoga therapy. Each method is tailored to your unique needs as a couple. Together, we'll find what works best for you, creating a supportive and personalized healing journey.

My focus

I work with primarily couples and individuals ages 16 and up. I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused approaches for couples. We'll deeply explore your concerns and collaboratively create a plan to help you reclaim your relationship. Many clients notice improvement within the first month. Let's embark on this healing journey together in a warm, safe, and supportive environment.

My communication style

As a clinical social worker, I am dedicated to providing a warm, comforting, and safe environment for my clients. My approach is deeply rooted in compassion, kindness, empathy, and patience, ensuring that everyone feels respected and valued. I strive to support and empower individuals on their journey to well-being and personal growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began during my time in the corporate world, where I observed many people struggling with self-care amidst demanding careers. This experience sparked my passion for helping others achieve the best version of themselves. Today, I am driven by the desire to support individuals in overcoming anxiety, depression, and life transitions, empowering them to reach their peak potential and lead fulfilling lives.

My goals for you

As a West meets East therapist, I prioritize understanding the unique needs and challenges of my clients. I provide support and encouragement while collaboratively setting SMART goals and scaling progress objectively to foster growth and well-being.

My first session with you

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. For example, using the Gottman Method, which focuses on improving communication, deepening intimacy, and building lasting connections. Together, we'll work on practical strategies to enhance your relationship and resolve conflicts.
