Who I Help

 

Individuals

Individuals gain insight and build tools to face challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, grief and loss, family issues, and specific life stressors. I use multiple approaches including Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) rooted in CBT and mindfulness. I also use Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Internal Family Systems therapies.

Couples

I specialize in working with couples looking to rebuild, heal, and rejuvenate their relationship and address issues including communication, conflict, connection, infidelity, trust, trauma, family concerns, adjusting to life transitions, and parenting. I use a variety of approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, and Solution Focused Therapy to help couples find relationship satisfaction, hope, and lasting change.

Couples Intensives

We provide an immersive and transformative experience designed to strengthen, rebuild, and repair relationships in an accelerated format. One couple will have the unique opportunity to engage in a two-day journey with two expert couples therapists, receiving tailored therapy crafted specifically for the couple's needs. Also, couples intensives offers the unique advantage of saving months of therapy in a condensed time frame.

Families

Family discord can create stress, conflict, and distance within the family. I work with family members looking to reduce conflict, and improve the interactions and connections in order to positively impact the family relationships. The family systems approaches I use address the interactional patterns, emotional bonds, family structure, and ways of problem solving within the family.
