It is so important to find a therapist who has specialized training. I have trained in a range of approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I work with couples who seem to be locked in emotional cycles that are difficult to understand and to break out of. You can improve your communication and become emotionally focused and intimate with your partner by learning to speak openly and listen non-defensively.

I work with couples to help them identify relationship goals and learn better communication and problem-solving skills so they can create a relationship in which both partners feel understood, appreciated, respected, and loved.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

Each relationship is unique! With time and effort, you will develop healthier habits and and stronger connections.

When working with couples and families I hold the space for each person in the room to provide the safety to discuss even difficult issues. I use IFS, and EMDR to deepen each individual's experiences when beneficial. My approach is based on family systems theory.
