About My Clients

Throughout our lives, we experience a variety of changes and transitions. Whether you are newly engaged, preparing for or adapting to parenthood, or wanting to get your relationship back on track, I am here to help. These life transitions can be exciting and overwhelming. My work with couples involves teaching effective communication skills and establishing patterns and behaviors that lead to feelings of closeness and satisfaction, rather than defeat and disconnection.

My Background and Approach

My extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) guides my work with couples as I explore the patterns that exist within their relationship that prevent them from experiencing their ideal relationship. Additionally, I utilize my training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) as I work with clients to explore their emotions and understand how their emotions influences their relationship dynamic.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all people have a desire to connect with others; however, it is not always as easy as it seems. Our experiences and learned behaviors often get in the way of us living the life we dream of and having satisfying relationships with the people we love. However, I believe with support and guidance it is possible to establish new patterns and behaviors that open us up to the potential for more satisfying and fulfilling relationships. I believe that all people are worthy of love and have a right to love who they love.
