BIOGRAPHY: talk therapy, emdr therapy, couples therapy

As a licensed therapist with 10+ years of experience, it is my honor to partner with those looking to take charge of their mental health journey and lead healthy and fulfilling lives.  I have a passion for supporting individuals to embrace their inner strengths, make adaptive changes to their behavior and thinking, find new ways to navigate challenges, build skills and learn strategies to manage mental health concerns, and to heal from past painful experiences or trauma so that they are better able to experience a sense of wholeness and increased well-being. The therapeutic approaches I most often incorporate into my work with individuals include: Client Centered, Humanistic, Narrative, Feminist, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Somatic, IFS, and EMDR Therapy.

I primarily utilize principles from the Gottman or Emotionally Focused Therapy approaches for couples therapy.  I aspire to help partners create a culture of love, respect, and deeper connection through encouraging greater emotional vulnerability with one another and by learning relationship practices that are correlated with higher relationship satisfaction and stability.
