My Approach to Therapy

Teaching couples how to truly hear their partners, navigate conflict, and increase their emotional intelligence for healthier relationships You rarely feel seen or heard, maybe even under appreciated. You've read some books, watched some videos, and tried therapy, but nothing seems to last. You used to have so much fun together and now you're not sure if you want to stay in the relationship. I help couples find themselves and each other again and build healthier patterns of interaction. We will analyze patterns together and use new skills and knowledge to break cycles that are keeping you from truly enjoying your life together. Client's appreciate how direct I am and my concrete ideasfeedback for how to make change. I utilize the Gottman theory and the Enneagram to teach skills and decode your partner's communication style. I am also EMDR trained and increasing my competence in IFS (internal family systems) to be able to assist when trauma is part of the equation. I specialize in working with: - Couples stuck in negative cycles of reaction - Adults with trauma history - Helpling couples (and young adults) work through life transitions. It can be difficult to find the right therapist. If anything I said feels like I can help, please reach out. I'll get back to you within 24 hours to set up a free 15 minute consult.
