I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and parents navigate relationship challenges, including communication breakdowns, conflict, trust issues, and emotional disconnection. My work integrates attachment theory, the Gottman Method, and child brain development to help parents better understand and respond to their children while strengthening the parent-child bond. I also provide mediation for separation, supporting couples in navigating transitions with clarity and reduced conflict. Toget

I specialize in working with post-traumatic stress and the lasting impact of unresolved experiences. Using approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Critical Memory Integration (CMI), I help clients process and integrate trauma at a deeper level. This work supports reduced emotional reactivity, relief from intrusive symptoms, and a greater sense of safety, control, and connection to yourself and others.

I work with individuals experiencing burnout who feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of over-functioning. Many of my clients are high-achieving and used to pushing through, often at the expense of their own needs. I help you understand the deeper patterns driving burnout, including perfectionism, people pleasing, and chronic stress, while supporting nervous system regulation and sustainable change so you can feel more balanced, present, and aligned in your life.

I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns and early experiences that shape how they think, feel, and relate today. This approach supports insight into unconscious beliefs, relational dynamics, and protective strategies that often operate outside of awareness. The goal is not just understanding, but lasting change in how you experience yourself and others.

I use the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen friendship, improve communication, and navigate conflict in a more regulated and constructive way. This structured approach is grounded in decades of research on relationship stability and helps identify patterns that erode connection while building practical tools for repair, trust, and emotional closeness.

I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients process and resolve distressing memories and trauma in a focused, efficient way. ART works by reducing the emotional intensity of painful experiences while helping the brain reconsolidate more adaptive responses. Clients often experience relief from intrusive symptoms, emotional reactivity, and trauma-related triggers.
