My Approach to Helping
“Your living is determined not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” - Khalil Gibran
I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you identify and resolve unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward. You might be feeling stuck due to becoming emotionally disconnected with your partner, experiencing a traumatic event or struggling to perform at your optimal level at work. You want to rediscover intimacy, purpose and joy. Let me join you in developing effective coping skills to manage life's daily challenges.
I am experienced and understand anxiety in its various forms (social, performance) and specialize in trauma as well as relationship distress. My approach is experiential, process oriented and focuses on bringing greater insight and self awareness for the client(s). I also believe in the importance of our past experiences as they often inform the way we show up in relationships now.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). I am trained in EMDR and am IFS informed. I am also trained in EFT as well as EFIT Level 1 & 2, mindfulness and CBT. Beyond the modalities and specialties however, I care most about the relationship I get to cultivate with you. I care that you live a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and empowering. I enjoy working with young adults and couples looking to repair a rupture or just starting out and looking to build a solid foundation. I look forward to meeting and partnering with you.
