Who

I work with couples, individuals and adult families.

What

Life and relationships can be stressful and challenging. From divorce and depression to life transitions and parenting, I can help bring clarity and solutions to your particular issue. Areas of expertise include rebuilding trust between partners, healing from infidelity, learning new communication skills to manage anger and decrease conflict, divorce and single-parenting, creating sexual intimacy, raising children to become healthy adults, family blending and managing a family member with borderline personality disorder.

How

I work with clients in a collaborative way to identify problematic issues and unhealthy patterns, establish goals, then actively work towards them in an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere. In the early stages of counseling, you will experience a concrete change process that will ultimately lead towards a palpable transformation.

I draw upon multiple theories and techniques to match each client’s needs. I am trained in several evidence-based modalities including Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, PACT Level 1 (a neurobiology and attachment focused model) and EMDR. I also integrate the Gottman Method, Behavioral Family Systems Therapy and the mindfulness-based Hakomi Method.
