My work consists of two main features: Self-Understanding - through a in-depth analysis of who you are and identifying your inner wisdom and understanding of who you are, AND Self-Authoring - by untangling patterns, habits and beliefs that do not serve you, then helping you to align more wholly with who you are and who you desire to be.
It can feel so frustrating when no matter how hard you try, you just keep ending up at the same spot. Let's look closer at the pattern and see what we can do to get you out of the loop. let's tap into your innate wisdom and ability to heal.

What makes my therapy practice stand out is my deep-rooted passion for helping individuals on their journey to a balanced life. With nearly a decade of experience as a therapist, I've had the privilege of working with clients who, like you, are navigating the delicate dance of ambition and mental well-being, dealing with the weight of cultural expectations, and facing relationship challenges.
My approach is not just professional; it's personal. I'm here to offer a safe, empathetic space where we can work together to find the strategies and insights you need to thrive. Your story is important, and I'm excited to be a part of your journey towards a happier, healthier you. Don't hesitate to reach out, and let's get started.
Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
I believe in a compassionate, yet direct approach. Most people are looking for straight forward help with their pain, anxiety, conflict and stress. A direct approach can be hard to find, but it can lead to faster results and change, this is our goal! I offer a full hour, unlike the traditional 50 minute's, and can also provide 90 minutes and 2 hour sessions.

For many people, walking through a therapist's door for the first time can be intimidating. It doesn't have to be. My practice offers professional and confidential services in a safe, comfortable and home-like environment. We provide individual, family and couple therapy; children 3 years and older.
Depending on each client’s needs, Gretchen’s approach is tailor made, whether it be within the privacy of productive therapeutic meetings or within the courts for the benefit of the client. Each family member is considered to play a role in the emotional, behavioral and relational patterns with the family system. Gretchen’s approach allows for every member of the family to make changes and heal, as she doesn’t identify a single member as the scapegoat or “identified patient. Gretchen’s clients include high net-worth individuals, families, sports celebrities, entrepreneurs and executives.
I approach every therapy session with an open mind and an open heart for your unique experience. I believe healing takes place in the contexts of healthy connections where you feel seen, heard and free to be yourself without judgement. I use a trauma sensitive lens to help teens and adults work though feelings of depression, anxiety, grief and life transitions and family of origin issues. Counseling with a therapist who understands an supports you can help you learn the tools you need to live a better quality of life.

Love shouldn’t hurt. If you find yourself worried, anxious, or overwhelmed in your relationships, I can help. Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, wondering what you seem to keep getting wrong or worrying about whether your partner will leave you? Do you worry that you’re not enough or that you’re sometimes too much? Do you live in fear of rejection or abandonment? You may have an anxious attachment style or even complex trauma (issues from your past that present in your current relationships). If love hurts, I can help.

I specialize in helping adults who struggle with self-confidence, worry (anxiety), and trauma (usually from stressful childhoods or past relationships) find clarity, calmness, and confidence. When my clients come to see me, they're often distressed in their relationships. They're smart, kind, and successful. But they're often self-sabotaging, and they don't even realize it. In our work together, my clients learn how to show up in their lives in a way that fosters fulfillment. You can have that, too. Imagine your potential when you understand and manage what's holding you back. You can have happy, healthy relationships when you're the best version of yourself. You can do this! I can help.
Does anger control you and keep you from living the life you dream of? Have you lost relationships, gotten in trouble at work, or been arrested because of this powerful emotion? Or do you instead suppress your anger and now deal with health issues, anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors? Consider a life in which you have control over your emotions. A life free of the destruction out-of-control emotions can cause.
You CAN break free from the bondage. It's time to gain control, and I can help you. With a doctorate in counseling and over 3 decades of experience, I have learned the secret to controlling anger, and I have helped thousands of individuals and couples overcome the destruction anger causes. In addition, I am a Certified Anger Management Treatment Professional and a Certified Life Coach.

I find that helping people tap into their own inner resources leads to meaningful change. Together, we unearth the beliefs, actions and feelings that can limit our understanding of ourself. This leads to the discovery that we have the capacity to self-soothe, to make conscious choices, and to develop healthy relationships. By learning to attune to our inner experience we are able to better connect to others. The therapeutic relationship provides a nurturing environment for new seeds, ideas, and expressions of ourselves to develop.
