When entering therapy with me, one can expect an environment that is warm and authentic. My goal is to cultivate a setting that fosters openness and self-reflection. I believe that an essential element to therapy is building a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can feel seen and understood.

I'm passionate in my work with individuals that are struggling with relationship issues, parenting struggles, and life transitions. I love working with couples for premarital counseling and couples that are going through a difficult time. I also enjoy working as a supervisor for provisionally licensed therapists.

When working with couples, I embrace an experiential approach that is relational and focused on understanding, rather than directive. Utilizing an emotion focused therapy approach, I concentrate on healing attachment injuries and assisting clients in understanding the unmet needs of their partners. I strongly believes in the importance of building rapport and understanding the perspectives of both partners to assist them in communicating their needs to one another.

In my work with individuals, I continue to utilize an attachment centered perspective. I combine insight focused approaches, such as narrative, emotion focused individual therapy, and internal family systems (IFS) with other modalities, such as ACT, which is a mindfulness-based approach. I believe it is helpful to understand one’s past to help gain deeper insight, self-awareness, and healing in order to shape and build a new present and future.
