Couples Therapy
​​​Are you looking to strengthen your relationship, heal from past hurts, affairs or other betrayals, and improve communication with your partner?
I specialize in working with couples to enhance intimacy, navigate major life transitions, and break free from repetitive conflicts. Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and the Gottman Couples Method, I can help you identify underlying emotions, improve understanding, and foster a deeper connection with your partner. This approach is highly effective and sought-after, allowing you to experience fewer arguments and communicate your needs in ways that bring you closer together.

Individual Therapy
I specialize in providing compassionate support for adults and teenagers who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, PTSD, complex trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, grief, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and identity exploration. My individual therapy approach combines Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Play and Expressive Arts Therapies to help you manage difficult emotions and create a fulfilling life.
​
My ultimate goal is to help you build healthier emotional connections and empower your inner wisdom to make decisions. Additionally, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist in processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on your daily life. For those coping with complex or relational trauma, I use Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) to address early childhood pain and damage from neglect or inadequate parenting,and provide healing experiences to foster a sense of inner security

Family Therapy
​As a dedicated family therapist, I specialize in guiding families with adult or teen children through the transformative journey of reconnecting after periods of estrangement. I am committed to helping families heal from relational hurts and trauma, navigate challenging conversations, establish healthy boundaries, and cultivate unity.
In my practice, I employ Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Family Systems to zero in on the family interactional cycles and interaction patterns between family members. My ultimate aim is to fortify the bonds between family members and foster a sense of security within the larger family unit. This approach is instrumental in preventing escalations, resolving conflicts, addressing breaches of trust, nurturing healthy communication, and forging resilient family ties.
Through EFFT, I empower families to gain a profound understanding of their dynamics, navigate through challenges, and create a more harmonious and supportive family environment.​
