I use a mixture of various different therapeutic models depending on the clients need, however I am most rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Currently Accepting New Clients! I believe relationships play a critical role in the way we navigate throughout our daily lives. We look to our partner(s) for support, validation, encouragement, and empathy. The security in knowing our needs can and will be met, fosters a bond and attachment that is safe and secure. When couples can concede to such emotional engagements, secure bonding can evolve, thus establishing a bond that contributes to overall well-being and quality of life.

Accepting NEW Clients: Tuesdays at 3pm. We are all born with good intentions and infinite possibilities, but sometimes life knocks us off our path. Our past experiences may have shaped who we are today, including what our relationships look like with ourselves and others, but despite whatever tragic events that have occurred during our life, we are driven towards resiliency. Except this is where we can get stuck: what we used to do, what we've always done, isn't working anymore; we need to find another way. When we allow ourselves to feel connected to others and focus on our strengths, rather than weaknesses, we are able to heal.
