Grief can come in many forms and for many reasons: the loss of a loved one, a divorce, loss of a job, health struggles, estranged relationships, and ambiguous loss. Learning how to process loss with support and intentionality will not only help move one toward acceptance, but also help to resume a full and meaningful life.

Do you struggle to communicate? Do you feel disconnected? Are you trying to rebuild trust or connection or improve intimacy? Couples therapy is a safe space to discuss all of the difficult conversations that often get shoved under the rug or turn in to blow-up fights. Let me help you learn how to regulate your nervous system, operate as a team and create a secure functioning relationship with the help of Gottman and PACT therapy.

Trauma is a deeply distressing experience/event that overwhelms the mind, body and nervous system. Trauma can become “stuck” in the body, activate a false-alarm, fight-or-flight state, creating a constant sense of danger and stress in the body which can impact immune function, relationships, focus, and emotion regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an evidenced-based, structured therapy, used to help clients process and integrate traumatic memory, reduce symptoms.

Grief can come in many forms and for many reasons: the loss of a loved one, a divorce, loss of a job, health struggles, estranged relationships, and ambiguous loss. Bereavement counseling is beneficial for those navigating the loss of a loved one. Learning how to process loss with support and intentionality will not only help move one toward acceptance, but also help to resume a full and meaningful life.

Attachment theory is the roadmap to our relationship style that forms with our first caregivers. I believe through relationships with others we grow and expand as individuals. Therapeutic relationships, in particular, can be transformative, offering a safe space in which to face life events and personal struggles.

The goal of PACT couples counseling is to create a secure functioning relationship where both parties are committed to operating as a "we/us" rather than two individuals at odds. Pact uses neuroscience and attachment theory of relationships. I will focus on moment-to-moment shifts in your face, body, and voice, and ask you to pay close attention to these as a couple. We will create experiences similar to those troubling your relationship and help you work through them in session.

Whether you’ve experienced a big “T” trauma or a little “t” trauma, EMDR could be a good treatment for overcoming the impacts of past negative experiences on your current life and functioning. In the safety of the therapeutic space clients are given segments of time to make observations about the memory with bilateral stimulation (either eye movements or tapping). Throughout the EMDR therapy, the memory becomes desensitized, meaning the vividness and power of the memory is reduced.
