My work is focused in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and individuals. Through attunement, and holding up a mirror gently, change happens in the therapy room. We work together to help you experience a difference in how you show up for yourself, and in your relationships. It's critical you feel comfortable in the process of therapy, so I often check in and adjust to your pace. This way you feel you are getting as much as you can through therapy. In addition to working with couples, I help individuals with life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and grief.

Treatment Approach
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
