About me
I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman methods, and am currently pursuing EFT certification. I have always been fascinated by the affects of attachment and bonding on interpersonal relationships and have a deep commitment to helping people articulate and address the core issues with which they struggle. I specialize in relational work, and love working with individuals, couples, and families from a relational lens.

Approach
During both couples and individual treatment, I take a compassion-based approach to foster understanding, safety, and hope. One of my main goals is to work collaboratively with clients in order to develop resiliency, foster re-connection, and build lasting trust and intimacy. I use a combination of different evidence-based practices, collaboratively tailoring each treatment plan to the individual.
I provide a warm and calming presence that will help you feel safe to be yourself in your most authentic form. You can trust that I will be honest and direct when needed, while maintaining a supportive and compassionate stance. I focus on leaning into moments to foster positive changes in your life and to help you achieve your goals in therapy.
