Couples and relationship therapists are trained in psychotherapy and licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of marriage, couples, and family systems.
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I implement Bowen & Gestalt therapy techniques coupled with a person-centered therapy strength-based approach working with couples, families, reunifications, individuals, groups, and athletes. The therapeutic focus is to help individuals heal, energize, become aware of their inner strengths, and mental blockers. Marriage and family therapists address serious clinical problems, such as anxiety, depression, marital problems, individual psychological problems, and child-parent conflict. This is a relational unit of care, developed around the set of relationships in which the person dwells.

My approach is eclectic, using CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) Mindfulness, Family Systems and Relational approaches that are tailored to the needs of the individual.
Is there something going on that you would like to talk about but are not sure who to talk to or where to start? Therapy should be a safe place where you can feel heard, explore your deepest fears, feelings and emotions, connect and build trust and receive clear and honest feedback. A place where you can develop insight, identify unhealthy behaviors and patterns and create positive life changes, find practical solutions, and learn to recognize and be able to draw upon your own strengths, life experiences and resiliency.

Whether you are a single adult, a partner, or a parent, we all struggle with stressors such as feelings of anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, financial pressures, and difficult relationships. Therapy can be a useful way to explore where you feel stuck, and discover alternate ways to manage and cope so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. I work from a psychoanalytic and family systems lens.

My approach integrates Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Somatic Therapy, Attachment Theory, and decolonial & abolitionist practices.
I want to help you feel more okay and be more equipped to navigate current challenges and stay in connection by tending to the source of your triggers, symptoms, and emotional pain that makes reality harder for you. Our subconscious inner world organizes itself around pain, and it will get creative to keep us away from overwhelming, scary, and alone experiences we have lived through. I’ll make invitations that could expand your capacity to be with hard things while feeling rooted in curiosity and compassion. When our wounds feel deeply understood by us, they transform into inner wisdom and we feel true belonging within ourselves.
