In couples, I use Gottman's Theory as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy.
In life, we often feel overwhelmed, depleted, and in need of support. Maybe it is a struggle with anxiety or depression, a negative belief, an addiction or perhaps you have been hit by a marital betrayal or loss of connection. No matter the cause, therapy can be a means to hope and healing. According to Dr. Peter Levine, “Trauma is perhaps the most avoided, ignored, belittled, denied, misunderstood, and untreated cause of human suffering”. He describes trauma as “anything that is too much or comes too fast” or is hard on your body physically or emotionally. I believe we all have the ability to heal, grow, and transform.

I have been trained in Gottman Level 1 therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I've seen how when one person is struggling in a family, everyone can feel it. I use relationships and effective communication to help people express their feelings and better their connections to find peace and happiness as they learn to navigate their emotions and hardships in life. Healing can happen, and it often comes through finding unity with others and within.

My primary treatment approaches are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and when working with couples, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
Life can be hard. It can be painful, difficult, and sometimes feel almost impossible to manage. But life can also be joyful! Our lives can be exciting and fulfilling, and our relationships strong and meaningful! I believe that life is a journey with things to teach us at every point. Difficulty brings with it opportunity for growth if we are open to learning the things it offers to teach us. As a clinician, it is my greatest privilege, to support clients through even a small part of their journey toward greater health, fulfilling relationships, and more meaningful living.

My approach is heavily influenced by models such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Our most frustrating and painful patterns are often rooted in past experiences that continue to impact us, whether consciously or subconsciously. I strongly believe if you are feeling stuck, it’s not random and there is nothing wrong with you. Many clients have come to me because they find themselves unable to make significant changes despite past therapeutic work and education or they feel powerless in their life and/or relationships. I focus on creating an emotionally safe environment where we explore these experiences and behaviors with curiosity.

Welcome! I am an expert at helping couples work through relationship problems. If you've been hurt by an affair, you don't feel safe to share your true feelings with your partner, you seem to fight all the time, or can't seem to get on the same page, I can help. My therapy is domestic violence and trauma-informed (I thoroughly and continually assess for safety, I pay attention to how your body feels in session, and I help you to work through past trauma), emotionally-focused (I help you to have a different emotional experience with each other in-session), and culturally-sensitive (I help you to find harmony in your differences).

Additionally I am trained in EMDR, Theraplay, Sandtray Therapy, EFT, DBT, and Psychodrama.
Healing is real and possible. Suffering does not have to last. I help clients live authentically, find more peace, and connect more to self and others by increasing awareness and acceptance of emotions, increasing body discernment/somatic mindfulness, and enhancing the body/mind/spirit connection. Feeling better comes through learning to regulate the nervous system through the reprocessing of old trauma and healing one's attachment wounds, expressing emotions using expressive arts/music/movement/drumming/psychodrama/writing/etc., learning to re-frame negative thoughts, increasing shame resilience, and practicing self-compassion.
