As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have received additional training in relation to working with families. I view my clients with a systemic lens, whereby change is generated systemically rather than at the individual level. This not only helps to solve current challenges within the family but sets them up for future success. I approach families using a combination of techniques stemming from Family Systems Theory, Structural, and Bowenian.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have received additional training in relation to working with couples. In Couples Therapy the relationship is the core of the work. I am Gottman Couples Therapy Level 1 trained, and have completed an Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) externship. I use a combination of these modalities along with an overarching systemic lens to help create the kind of relationship my clients desire.

Men's issues are an area that I have taken an interest in on both a professional level and a personal level. There are many assumptions and stereotypes that come with being a man in todays world and these can create additional challenges when not properly addressed. By delving deeper into these issues and investigating where they came from, we can begin to facilitate growth and understanding in a manner that may feel impossible outside of the therapy space.

Carl Rogers core conditions of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness are the central basis for all the work that I do with my clients. These work together to create a therapy environment that is inviting and trustworthy. With this strong foundation deep work can be completed in a manner that is as non-threatening as possible, recognizing that therapy can be a rigorous and demanding process.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have been taught Family Systems Theory in a manner which is both detailed and precise. I was taught to look at clients beyond the level of the individual, and instead look at the system as a whole. It is not merely enough to work at the individual level when the system itself is what needs to be adjusted. When systemic change is created it not only solves current issues but sets the system up for success in the future.
