Treatment Approach
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: I believe in the power of the person-centered approach, where your experiences, strengths, and aspirations guide our collaborative work. Infused with elements of psychodynamic theory and the innovative Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), my approach for individual treatment is a harmonious blend of deep introspection and transformative techniques. In my work with couples, I approach with a similar stance, but maintain my focus on building foundations of safety, trust, and security in the relationship through the lens of Attachment Theory.

With a wealth of expertise, I specialize in several areas, ensuring that you receive tailored support that aligns with your needs:
Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM): As a fully trained practitioner of the Comprehensive Resource Model, I draw upon this innovative approach to healing trauma. CRM provides a transformative framework that empowers you to access your internal resources, fostering a deep sense of safety and resilience. Through skillful guidance, I will assist you in harnessing your innate strengths to overcome the impact of trauma and reclaim your life.
Complex Trauma and PTSD: If you're navigating the intricate challenges of complex trauma or PTSD, you're not alone. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where we can explore the roots of your trauma, working collaboratively to reprocess and reshape the traumatic narratives that may be holding you back. Together, we will cultivate tools and strategies to facilitate healing, growth, and a renewed sense of self.
Mood Disorders: I have extensive experience in working with mood disorders, providing you with a supportive environment to address concerns such as depression and anxiety. Using techniques that CRM teaches, we will uncover the underlying factors contributing to these challenges, while developing effective coping strategies to promote emotional well-being.
Men's Issues: Men often face unique challenges in today's world, and I am attuned to the complexities surrounding men's mental health. Through meaningful conversations, we will explore themes of identity, masculinity, and societal expectations, fostering personal insight and empowerment.
Relationships and Trust: Relationships are the cornerstone of our lives, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate the intricacies of building and maintaining healthy connections. Whether it's addressing trust issues, communication barriers, relationship dynamics or infidelity, I am here to guide you toward fostering fulfilling and authentic connections.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): I am trained in EFT, and utilize this modality with my Couples. EFT has been shown to demonstrate the most effective method of helping couples heal from their issues. It is considered the "gold standard" of couples therapy. Issues are resolved by exploring each person's emotional needs in depths, rather than just talking about a solution that we are missing.
