My Approach to Helping

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship, struggling with communication issues, or experiencing constant conflict? You're not alone. As a Gottman-trained counselor, I understand the complexities of interpersonal dynamics and the challenges that come with them. I'm here to validate your experiences without minimizing them, providing a safe space for you to explore your emotions and concerns. Together, we'll uncover the underlying issues, empowering you to navigate through them toward a healthier, more fulfilling relationship. Let's embark on this journey together, starting from where you are now and guiding you towards a brighter future.

Through a collaborative and empathetic approach, I assist clients in understanding their emotions and communication patterns. Using evidence-based techniques from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other modalities, I facilitate meaningful conversations and help couples develop practical skills to strengthen their bond. As we work together, you'll begin to feel more connected, supported, and equipped to overcome obstacles. Imagine a relationship where trust is restored, conflicts are resolved constructively, and intimacy is reignited. That's the transformation I aim to facilitate for you.

More Info About My Practice

I have immediate openings for couples counseling and individual counseling sessions.
I have trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. My goal is to empower you to create the relationship you desire and deserve. Take the first step towards positive change by reaching out to schedule a session. Whether you're seeking individual or couples counseling, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. Don't wait any longer—let's start working towards a happier, healthier you today.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

Couples counseling using the Gottman Method is a research-backed approach that guides couples in strengthening their relationships. I like to integrate both Gottman and Emotionally focused therapy to help couples enhance their communication, manage conflict effectively, and cultivate deeper intimacy. By addressing underlying issues and fostering understanding, couples counseling can help couples navigate challenges, rebuild trust, and create a lasting and fulfilling partnership.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I find immense joy in working with people to help them heal, grow, and improve their lives. With a deep-rooted sense of empathy and understanding, I take pride in holding a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their emotions, confront their challenges, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. I also believe in the transformative power of therapy and feel privileged to witness my clients' progress as they gain insight, develop coping strategies, and ultimately thrive.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

Intergenerational trauma, the transmission of unhealed trauma from one generation to the next, can leave a lasting impact on individuals and families. My own experience with intergenerational trauma allows me to provide a safe and supportive space to process and heal from these experiences, promoting emotional well-being and breaking the cycle of trauma.
