Would you like to be a better version of yourself? My goal is to help clients understand negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, build self-awareness, and gain tools to identify triggers. Whether you are battling anxiety that feels overwhelming, healing from past trauma, or dealing with the stress from relationships, parenting, or life transitions. Together, we can develop tools to help you feel more balanced, confident, and in control. I enjoy working with couples on communication skills training as well as with children, adolescents, and families. If this resonates, you should schedule a free consultation.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Imago Relationship Therapy Helps couples understand how childhood experiences influence adult relationships. It teaches communication techniques to deepen connection.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.

I understand the hesitancy you may feel in trying therapy, as I previously experienced similar doubts. I have since grasped the importance of mindfulness and acceptance, which has allowed me to have emotional freedom from my past experiences relating to trauma, anxiety, and grief. My goal is to guide you with empathy to uncover the root of your struggles.
