I enjoy working with couples of all kinds to improve communication, see one another more clearly, understand their sexual needs, express themselves emotionally and sexually, find shared values, stop before outbursts, reflect each other's thoughts and emotions, and more. The challenge of couples therapy is really fun for me, and I believe that couples therapy can create powerful change in the lives of each individual as well as the couple.

I think of highly sensitive people as people who are gifted, talented, intelligent, aware, and intuitive. I have lived experience as a highly sensitive person. I work with clients on utilizing and growing the incredible strengths of being a highly sensitive person. At the same time, I work with clients on coping with the various manifestations of sensory overload. Sensitivity is a double-edged sword, and I work with clients on feeling empowered in their identity.

I am fascinated with bipolar disorder. My master's thesis was surrounding the connection between artistic genius and bipolar disorder. I have enjoyed learning the nuances of various bipolar states, including the differences between unipolar and bipolar depression, mixed states, manic agitation, bipolar psychosis, hypomania, and more. I have researched unique ways to approach people with bipolar disorder, because bipolar disorder cannot be treated like any other mental illness.

I am being trained in the Gottman Method to assist couples in developing friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. I help couples transform negative ways they communicate with positive interactions to help heal past resentments. The Gottman Method includes, "interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed."

Although I am not a trained Jungian Analyst, I am inspired by the works of Jung in his ability to find what I would say is the true self. I think that honoring the subtle, unconscious aspects of therapy can create a much more meaningful bond between the clinician and client. I will explore complexes and archetypes in the path to identity formation. Depth therapy is empowering in the sense that it focuses on the self, rather than pathologizing the client.

I believe Eclectic Therapy can be one of the greatest tools in the therapy relationship. Utilizing interventions from behavioral (more skills-based, immediate fixes) to exploring the self (asking questions of identity, figuring out who you are, working on your vices and shadow) help the client improve their lives on the surface as well as feeling whole underneath it all.

I work with many neurodivergent clients to help empower them to live a life that accommodates them and helps them thrive. I have lived experience as a neurodivergent person. Nearly all the clients who work with me identify on the ND spectrum, including ASD and ADHD. I am invigorated by my work with my fantastic ND clients, and I learn more from them everyday.
