I have extensive education and experience with clients that are going through grief and/or loss. Living with grief and loss looks different for everyone and it is important to have understanding of your individual grief process. Loss is not just defined by the death of someone we know. Loss can be defined by many things that we lose (I.e. relationship ending, career change/job loss, infertility, etc.).

Relationships are complex and require a lot of attention and work each and everyday. Sometimes the challenges we experience in our relationship feel overwhelming and confusing. I provide support to couples that desire to understand their relationship more, improve communication, increase overall satisfaction and intimacy. In addition, I have extensive experience with couples in affair recovery. Affairs are traumatic experiences and I provide a space to help heal.

Most individuals experience anxiety at some point in time in their life. It can feel really overwhelming and our problems can seem unmanageable. I provide a place for clients to learn more about their anxiety, what causes it and how to successfully manage their symptoms in order to reduce the impact that anxiety can have on our relationships and overall well-being.

My approach to the therapy room comes from Bowen Family Systems Theory. In short, I practice with the lens that all of the experiences and relationships that we have had in our life have shaped us to be the person we are today. Without understanding of ourselves, we can have high levels of anxiety, depression and relationship conflict as a result of it.

Within each family, there are many dynamics and complex interactions that occur. Without understanding these dynamics and interactions, we can increase our likelihood of anxiety, depression and conflict. Through family therapy, I encourage individuals to communicate their emotions in an effective way in order to be seen and her by the other family members.

Relationships are complex and require extensive work and attention. I work to remind partners that they are on the same team and the goal is to be able to better understand one another, not try to win. I share important communication skills and conflict management tactics in order for couples to be able to express their thoughts and emotions in an effective way.
