Alere Relationships
About
The one thing I would like you to know about me is my commitment to helping clients manage anger, deal more effectively with conflict, and understand personal relationships a little better. My education is in psychology, however I combine this with teaching skills that are easy to implement and crucial to managing anger, conflict and relationships. I have worked with a diverse population, including overseas, and the military.
I have a clinical psychology background with a BA in psychology and an MA in counseling psychology. I completed my doctorate degree in Psychology in 2020. I am a Gottman trained educator and a trained conflict coach. I teach anger management and stress management techniques. Although my education gives me a skilled background I combine it with experience and a passion and energy for working with people who need some skilled help. I have a positive perspective on life and a great sense of humor.
I enjoy most is passing along some research based, effective skills and strategies that really can make managing anger and dealing with conflict easier. Once you master some of these skills then life becomes much easier.
