EFT helps couples become more emotionally available, responsive and engaged with one another to create intimate connection (ICEEFT.
Life is all about relationships! From the moment we are born to the last breath, we are embedded in relationships...it is the very essence of life. Yet, sometimes they are the most difficult to navigate through with confusing twists and turns that leave us feeling cut off and alone from the very ones we need and love. Often, we can see what it is we want, but have no idea of how to get there because we are stuck or blocked from moving forward. I can help you to remove these obstacles by utilizing Brainspotting (www.Brainspotting.com) or EMDR (www.EMDRIA.org).

My aim is to help you gain clarity about the underlying causes of problems, provide strategies to help you cope and empower you to trust your inner voice and live each day authentically.

i have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Couples and Individual Therapy.
Choosing a therapist is deeply personal and usually comes down to an unexplainable sense or feeling that it's right. Of course it's difficult to develop that sense from a web profile so I provide a free initial consultation to support a more personal and informed process of choosing a therapist. The catalyst for therapy is often a debilitating chronic anxiety or depression that "is not me", or pain in a relationship that we care deeply about, or an addiction that hurts the ones that matter most to us.

With couples, I create a space where each partner feels secure, seen, and open to change.
Life can be extremely challenging. In response, we develop coping mechanisms that work in the moment, but that ultimately hinder our ability to connect with ourselves and others in a healthy way. With my clients, we identify destructive/productive learned behaviors. We practice new ways of interacting and work through past and present struggles, regaining the ability to feel calm, love, and joy! Some of the issues I treat are anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, addiction, and narcissism (stemming from trauma). I work with adults and couples in various stages of life (marriage, new parents, divorce, midlife, etc.).

I bring passion to my work with couples, creatives, teenagers, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and life-transitions, those who have experienced trauma or difficult parent-child relationships, people raised in families with mental illness, and persons who engage in mothering – from before conception through empty nesting.
Are you living the life you want to live? Or the story someone else wrote for you? The world is so loud. Whether it is society, school, work, family, social media, religion, or friends, there are so many voices telling us how we ‘should’ be. With all that noise, it can be hard to hear our own voice. Living out of alignment with ourselves can lead to feelings of anxiety, loneliness, depression and psychic pain. Our job, together, is to create a calm, safe space where you can tune in to yourself, connect with yourself, learn to accept yourself, and figure out how to live a life that honors your values and the desires of your heart.

Learning how to change your relationship to it, to make your active mind and perceptive body work for you, can significantly improve your sense of well being.
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, like you're not living at your full potential. Maybe the standards you have for yourself feel nearly impossible to actually fulfill. I've been this person and I love helping other people learn to see a different way of being. You may know it as stress, worry, or busyness. In therapy we like to talk about it as anxiety. The feeling that you must keep track of and respond to more than feels humanly possible.

My specializations are working with teenagers, young adults, and couples.
I believe that the connection between therapist and client is the key for successful outcomes. I work in collaboration with clients to create achievable and meaningful goals. Therapy may be difficult or bring up uncomfortable feelings for some clients. For this reason, I conduct therapy in a caring, supportive, and nonjudgmental way. My approach is to work with clients in a supportive fashion and to encourage clients to challenge themselves to attain their goals in a safe environment. I strive to create a specific therapeutic plan for each individual’s needs.

Understanding these connections and examining toxic relationship patterns is necessary.
Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma? Do you have a hard time communicating and setting boundaries with others? Life is full of obstacles and hardships that may be difficult to overcome without the right tools, resources, and, guidance leading to the manifestation of these symptoms. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adolescents using a Psychodynamic approach to explore unconscious thoughts and behaviors. In doing this, we are able to collaboratively recognize old ineffective patterns and process unresolved feelings and trauma.

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults and couples who may have achieved success in some areas of their lives but feel lacking in others.
As a natural empath and deep thinker, I am highly attuned and skilled at detecting and drawing insights from unconscious material that lie beneath a person’s struggles and destructive patterns. I hold space for my clients to embrace all the different parts of their complex identity and unique life path. Ultimately, I find that deep questions are best understood in a safe and open environment, not necessarily as direct problems to solve. Therefore, I work to provide a warm and nonjudgmental space that facilitates curiosity and honest self-reflection.

I work with teens, children, and adults struggling with unresolved trauma, relational issues, existential fear, grief, gender dysphoria, self-harm, addiction, anxiety, ADHD, and depression. I work from a psychodynamic lens, which means looking at my client’s past as a means of informing the present and helping them discover the unconscious blind spots that unknowingly contribute to their distress. I am passionate about helping to reconcile past trauma such as abuse, bullying, oppression, and toxic relationships. I also work with families and couples stuck in destructive patterns and having the same fight over and over.

I also provide couples counseling that utilizes the Gottman Method.
Welcome. I work primarily with couples and couples who are parents. Parenting and marriage play significant roles in our lives and they got harder during Covid. New parents especially are coping with topics that their relatives and friends with older children may have a hard time relating to. I am here to help new parents and couples navigate this transition time as individuals, partners, and parents. I rely heavily on attachment theory, Gottman method techniques for couples and raising emotionally intelligent children, and mindfulness.
