I specialize in empowering couples to enhance intimacy, navigate significant life transitions, and break free from destructive conflict cycles. Through the proven techniques of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and the Gottman Couples Method, I can help you uncover underlying emotions, foster mutual understanding, and create a profound connection with your partner.

Take the first step toward a more fulfilling relationship today.

Individual Therapy
I am wholeheartedly committed to offering compassionate support to adults and teenagers as they confront challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, PTSD, complex trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, grief, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and identity exploration. My innovative approach to individual therapy merges Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFiT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Play and Expressive Arts Therapies, empowering you to navigate difficult emotions and craft a truly fulfilling life.
My primary mission is to help you foster healthier emotional connections and unlock your inner wisdom to make transformative decisions. Additionally, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to effectively process traumatic memories, significantly diminishing their hold on your daily existence. For those grappling with complex or relational trauma, I employ Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) to delve into the wounds of early childhood, providing profound healing experiences that cultivate a deep sense of inner security.

Family Therapy
As a passionate and experienced family therapist, I specialize in guiding families with adult or teen children through the profound journey of reconnecting after periods of estrangement. My commitment is to facilitate healing from relational wounds and trauma, empowering families to navigate difficult conversations, establish healthy boundaries, and foster unity.
In my practice, I utilize Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Family Systems approaches to analyze and understand the intricate dynamics and interaction patterns among family members. My ultimate aim is to strengthen the bonds that connect families and create a sense of safety within the family unit. This targeted approach is essential for preventing conflicts from escalating, resolving disagreements, addressing breaches of trust, nurturing open communication, and building resilient family ties.
Through EFFT, I equip families with the tools to gain deep insights into their interpersonal dynamics, effectively work through challenges, and cultivate a more harmonious and supportive family environment. Together, we can transform your family relationships and create lasting, positive change.ge.
