I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help individuals and couples strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and repair attachment wounds. My warm, person-centered style creates a safe space to explore underlying emotions and relationship patterns. I help clients identify negative cycles, build secure bonds, and foster deeper trust and intimacy, supporting more connected and resilient relationships.

I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build psychological flexibility and align their actions with their core values. My approach supports individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and identity shifts by teaching mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based decision making. I create a grounded, supportive space where clients can reduce avoidance, increase self-awareness, and move toward a more meaningful, purpose-driven life.

I effectively use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. My person-centered, trauma-informed approach allows me to tailor DBT strategies to each client’s needs, particularly those navigating anxiety, anger, and life transitions. I create a supportive space where clients can develop resilience, improve relationships, and manage overwhelming emotions with confidence.

I am highly skilled in helping families navigate conflict by addressing underlying communication patterns, emotional needs, and relational dynamics. Using a systemic and attachment-based approach, I support family members in understanding one another, reducing reactivity, and building healthier interactions. My work helps families move from cycles of tension and misunderstanding toward greater connection, respect, and collaborative problem-solving.

I have extensive experience treating depression across diverse populations, including perinatal clients, parents, and individuals navigating major life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and DBT, I help clients understand thought patterns, regulate emotions, and build meaningful routines. My trauma-informed, person-centered style creates a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to regain stability, motivation, and a sense of purpose.

I have specialized expertise in supporting individuals and couples navigating infertility, providing compassionate, informed care during an emotionally complex journey. With training in perinatal mental health, I understand the grief, uncertainty, and relational strain infertility can bring. I help clients process loss, manage anxiety, and strengthen communication, offering steady support while they make decisions and move forward with clarity and resilience.
