Areas of Expertise
Counseling
As a marriage and family therapist with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals heal attachment wounds, trauma, and relationships. I provide counseling services for mental health issues, substance abuse, and trauma. My goal is to help you overcome your problems and achieve a happier, healthier life.
EMDR
EMDR is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. As a therapist trained in EMDR, I utilize bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements, to help clients process and integrate traumatic experiences. This evidence-based therapy is particularly effective in addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other trauma-related issues.
Psychodynamic/Attachment
Drawing from psychodynamic principles, my expertise lies in the exploration and understanding of attachment patterns. I guide clients through a deep examination of their early relationships and attachment experiences, recognizing the impact these dynamics may have on current relationships and emotional well-being. By fostering a secure attachment, clients can develop healthier connections and navigate interpersonal challenges more effectively.
Couples Therapy
Applying the renowned Gottman Method, my expertise in couples therapy centers around understanding and enhancing the dynamics of intimate relationships. Grounded in empirical research, the Gottman Method focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning within a relationship. I employ evidence-based interventions to help couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate the complexities of long-term partnerships.
My Approach
As a therapist, my approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and authenticity. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and I am committed to helping you achieve your goals.
Having walked the path of therapy myself, I understand the vulnerability and strength required to confront one's own challenges. My personal experiences have shaped my therapeutic approach, fostering a deep empathy and understanding of the emotional terrain my clients navigate. I recognize that each person's journey is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to healing.
​
In a world that often encourages surface-level interactions, I am committed to creating a genuine and authentic connection with my clients. I believe in showing up as a real individual, not a scripted or distant figure. This means sharing aspects of my own humanity, acknowledging that I am a fellow traveler on the road to self-discovery.
​
For me, therapy is not just a job; it is a passion. I recognize the immense value and courage it takes for clients to invest in their well-being, and I approach each session with the dedication it deserves. My commitment extends beyond the scheduled therapy hours—I am genuinely invested in the progress and healing of my clients.
​
In a world where authenticity is often undervalued, I believe that genuine connections and passionate commitment are essential in the realm of therapy. My personal approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, empathy, and a sincere desire to contribute to my clients' healing journeys. By showing up as a real individual with a passion for the work, I aim to create a therapeutic space where clients can embrace their vulnerabilities, navigate their challenges, and ultimately find the strength to transform their lives.
