My Approach
My therapy is geared toward providing illumination, healing and empowerment for individuals and couples wishing to change painful patterns in their life. Throughout our work together, you will be invited to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, experience and history in order to glean insight and understand automatic actions that keep you stuck. Developing skills of awareness, you will begin the process of seeking healing for your relationship with your partner, your relationship with your feelings, your past, and your body and spirit leading to a greater capacity for joy, inner peace, confidence, intimacy, and deepened relationships.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
My background in Marriage and Family Therapy and Systems training allows me to look at the individual through a holistic lens, since to think systemically is to acknowledge that we live in a network of relationships that impact our daily lived experience. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, combining cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness strategies and creative modalities with interpersonal theories. I customize the treatment to the individual and couple. I am a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR and utilize somatic and visualization tools.
​
I have 10 years of experience working with couples
across all walks of life from newly coupled to coupled for 20+ years and everything in between.
I help couples develop an understanding of each other's inner workings and work to transform conflict into opportunities for deeper intimacy and connection.
I utilize various theoretical orientations and tailor therapy to the couple. Some of those theoretical orientations include attachment theory, Emotion Focused Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Gottman Therapy.
