My master's degree focused on couple and family counseling, and I use these skills in practice. Couple's therapy requires tracking patterns within a couple, identifying underlying and dominant emotions, and knowing how to cultivate connection. Each of these aspects of couple's therapy are things I incorporate into my sessions with couples,

Narrative therapy is my core theory that use with all my clients. Each and every person has dominant narratives about life that impact the way they behave, think, and feel about things. Uncovering these dominant narratives allows us to change them or make them less rigid in order to live a life that feels more authentic and rewarding.

I often use DBT in my work with clients who experience relational anxiety, general anxiety, and with couples. DBT provides structured coping skills that teach clients how to hold two things at once, which can allow for a more holistic perspective on things and reduce anxiety.

I work with clients who experience low to high levels of anxiety. I use narrative therapy, DBT, and parts work to help clients break out of black and white thinking and create new neural pathways in their brains. Therapy is a great place to organize anxious thoughts, work through them, and replace them with the thoughts you want to be having instead.

I work with clients who have had a history or current struggle with multiple types of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. I also work with clients who want to improve their relationship with food and/or their overall body image. Using parts work, narrative therapy, and family therapy, I help clients work through their deep rooted beliefs and create coping plans.

Therapy is a great place to organize anxious thoughts, work through them, and get to the root of what causes the anxiety.

The majority of my caseload is typically couples working through communication issues, premarital issues, and family of origin misalignment issues. I use my training in couple's therapy and my degree in marriage and family therapy to help couples reach a place of commitment, connection, and compassion.
