areas of expertise

Clients say that I have a gentle, nurturing, and collaborative approach in my work. I’m passionate about working with individuals and couples and strive to improve the relationships in their life. I like to meet my clients where they are and create real and deep relationships built on trust and safety; I do this by helping clients understand and become aware of their patterns in life, past and present. I like to help clients gently uncover the layers of their past, erasing shadows and shedding light, acceptance and understanding of self.

During couples therapy, I integrate many modalities—Stan Tatkins, The Developmental Model (Ellyn Bader), Imago, Esther Perel, Gottman, EFT, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), the attachment model and somatic work. I believe in helping clients create a clear plan for strengthening all relationships, and work with the best modality to fit these needs.

I offer structure and clear follow through, providing progressive and forward moving treatments to the couples and individuals I work with. I work effectively with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, attachment-related issues, parenting, infidelity—working with my clients to increase space, expansiveness and acceptance.
