Trauma can impact how you experience emotions, relationships, and your sense of safety in daily life. In our work, we focus on understanding how past experiences continue to influence the present. Together, we move at a pace that feels safe, building emotional regulation skills, increasing awareness, and gently processing experiences over time.

Relationship challenges often manifest as recurring conflicts, communication difficulties, or a sense of distance from your partner. In couples therapy, we focus on understanding these patterns and how each partner experiences them. Using approaches like the Gottman Method, we work to improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and build skills for repair and conflict resolution. The goal is to create a more stable, supportive, and connected relationship over time.

I use CBT to help you notice how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact in your daily life. In our sessions, we slow down these patterns together, identify what may be maintaining distress, and explore more balanced and supportive ways of responding. At times, this may include practical tools or exercises that you can apply outside of sessions.

I use DBT to help strengthen emotional regulation and build distress tolerance when facing challenges.

In couples work, I use the Gottman Method to help partners better understand their interaction patterns and communication styles. We focus on identifying cycles that create distance or conflict, while also building skills for repair, emotional attunement, and strengthening connection over time.

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or feeling overwhelmed in your daily life. In our work together, we focus on understanding how anxiety appears for you and what may be keeping it going. With CBT and DBT techniques, we focus on building self-compassion, strengthening our emotional regulation, and developing effective coping skills. We may also explore holistic supports such as mindfulness and meditation to help calm your nervous system.
