About My Clients
If you are interested in strengthening or rebuilding your relationship, I can help. The best time to start couples counseling is when things are GOOD! By working with me while there is still friendship, affection and trust, you will strengthen your foundation against future hardship. Learn to communicate and resolve conflict before you need to. If your relationship is already in crisis, don't worry. I am trained to help you work through your hurt, resentment and distrust to rebuild.
My Background and Approach
I approach couples therapy with a mix of tools, including the evidenced-based approach called the Gottman Method. I am trained to offer a special Gottman Method intake package that includes 4 structured meetings to identify a path forward in your relationship. But the Gottman Method is only one approach! I also utilize aspects of Emotionally Focused Therapy, helping you to stop arguing about household chores and finally get to the heart of what you're REALLY arguing about. (Trust? Respect? Security?) As a bonus, I love using the wisdom of the Enneagram. The Enneagram has changed my life and I want to help you experience the same benefits.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe that you are more than your labels or diagnoses. You are a human first, and the rest is (important) context. That being said, I have experience working the anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, perinatal disorders, relational conflict, infidelity, substance abuse, grief/loss, parenting challenges and more. I am trained in grief support and have experience with religious trauma. In my couples work, I am affirming of consensual adult relationships of ALL shapes and sizes.
