My greatest passion is helping people navigate life’s toughest challenges — whether that’s past trauma, anxiety, or strained relationships. I work collaboratively with adults, couples, and families to help them develop new insights and skills, strengthen emotional connections, and transition into healthier, happier ways of being. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. With warmth, connection, and a touch of humor, I meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you toward your goals.

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.
- 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.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- 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.
- 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.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I draw from cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational models to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system responses interact, while developing practical skills to create meaningful change. Education is used not to “fix” clients, but to empower them with insight and tools they can apply in daily life.
Grounded in family systems and attachment-based perspectives, I view individuals and couples within the context of their relationships, life experiences, and internal emotional systems. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples strengthen connection, improve communication, and manage conflict using research-based strategies that foster trust, safety, and emotional intimacy.
My work is also informed by humanistic, existential, and experiential approaches, emphasizing authenticity, personal meaning, and emotional presence in the therapeutic process. I invite clients to explore their lived experience in the moment, helping them reconnect with core values and develop a deeper sense of self-compassion and agency.
Using narrative and Internal Family Systems (IFS) frameworks, I help clients identify and understand the patterns, protective parts, and stories that have shaped their lives. Together, we work to gently shift unhelpful narratives, heal wounded parts, and create greater internal harmony. Therapy is a supportive, respectful process where clients are seen as capable, resilient, and inherently worthy of growth and healing.
