My Approach to Helping

When there is unhappiness in your relationship, it can be hard to feel content and at peace with your life in general. In my practice I work with individuals and couples who are looking to experience a more satisfying, more connected, more safe and loving partnership.
While I am trained in several psychotherapeutic approaches, my primary orientation is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
EFT is a reseach based approach that has been proven to have a striking 90% success rate in helping couples move their relationship from distress to a secure, loving and safe haven.

A bit about myself: I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience.
In my work with individuals and couples, I recognize each person as a unique human being with his or her own struggles as well as strengths. In short, I genuinely care for each of my clients, and experience my counseling work as a calling not just a livilihood.
Aditionally, while I bring my expertise, training and education into my work as a psychologist, I also bring my humanity. I bring my experience as another human being who knows what it is like to navigate the challenges that life inevitably offers up. I have discovered over the many years of self-reflection and personal growth, that there is always a way. I have discovered that while pain is an unavoidable part of being human, suffering does not have to be.
I believe in change, and that no one is beyond help. I believe that we all have an innate capacity to heal, and that sometimes all it takes is a skilled and present guide to make all the difference in a persons life.
