About My Clients

My work has been primarily with couples looking to better communicate and individuals navigating the dissolution of a relationship. Clients can be sure that they will feel supported, seen and heard in when sharing a space with me. Together we will explore what goals you have for therapy and collaborate to make that a reality.

My Background and Approach

I work from a strengths-based approach, reminding clients that we all have the strengths and skills to navigate life's challenges. I do this while honoring how hard it may be right now. I utilize models such as the Gottman Method for couples to lean into tools that will allow them to better communicate while focusing on listening to each other's needs. We work together on minimizing Gottman's disasters of communication, Criticism, Contempt, Stonewalling and Defensiveness. I also work using Emotions Focused Therapy and Models such as Solutions Focused Brief Therapy to explore goals and solutions. All of models I use will be curated for each client's needs, no cookie cutter approach here.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that life has ebbs and flows, we have good times and hard times, and we have each survived a hard time at least once, meaning why can't we do it again? While this is true, it doesn't make the hard time feel easier so with the right tools and support we can honor our experiences and explore what changes we want to create as a result. I want to support clients as they do this. You are not alone, and you can find someone who understands you making your experience feel less alone.
