Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that unhelpful thinking patterns can contribute to emotional distress. In CBT, we work together to recognize negative thoughts, evaluate their accuracy, and replace them with more balanced perspectives. This approach also includes practical strategies such as behavioral changes, coping skills, and problem-solving.

I use Gottman Level Couples Therapy, a research-based approach to help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. This method focuses on understanding relationship patterns, managing conflict effectively, and increasing respect and intimacy. Using structured tools and interventions, I support couples in navigating challenges, improving understanding, and creating healthier ways of relating.

I help couples navigate communication challenges, conflict, trust issues, repair attempts, and emotional disconnection. I support partners in rebuilding intimacy, strengthening understanding, and developing healthier patterns of interaction.

I specialize in attachment-related concerns, helping individuals and couples understand how early relationships shape current patterns. I support clients in identifying attachment styles, and building more secure, trusting connections. Together, we work to strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and create healthier relationship functioning.

I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, including chronic worry and stress related to life transitions or relationships. I support clients in understanding their triggers, building coping skills, and developing healthier thought patterns. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, increase confidence, and create a greater sense of calm and control.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based, evidence-informed approach that helps you build a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, sadness, or painful memories, ACT teaches skills to make space for them. We will focus on increasing psychological flexibility: the ability to stay present, respond intentionally, and take meaningful action even when things feel hard.
