I have provided Couple Counseling for the past 4 years, integrating my training with the Gottman Method Couples therapy (lvl 1 & 2). I work with clients to honor both partners feelings and goals for the relationship, presenting thought and intimacy homework when appropriate. Additionally, I also have worked offering Divorce Counseling, working to explore the desires of each partner, their needs, and parenting planning for shared custody situations.

Throughout my professional career I have worked integrating mindfulness and DBT skills into my work with client's. Additionally, I incorporate cognitive strategies exploring the impact it has on one's thoughts and perceptions, as well as strategies to assist client's regulate their anxiety.

Working from an existential approach, I incorporate the use of self-inventories, thought homework, and focused discussions to begin exploring and defining the nature of their depression. Incorporating the Gestalt approach, we place our focus on the Here-and-Now, addressing the need to honor the whole you, your feelings right now, and actions clients can use to begin regulating their symptoms.
