I’ve experienced my own struggles with self-esteem, mental health, & relationship issues. These experiences have shaped me into a therapist who is empathetic, practical, & down-to-earth. I know the path to self-improvement & rebuilding your relationships can be challenging. Let me help you understand yourself and/or your partner more by identifying your "WHY", meaning why you think, behave, and react the way you do based off of attachment, communication styles, past relationships, etc. Don't be afraid to take a chance on you and/or your partner. Let's create those meaningful changes and new memories together.
Now servicing PA, TX, MD clients! I specialize in a range of therapeutic approaches, including Narrative Therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy), and Structural Therapy. I draw from these techniques—and various other MFT modalities—depending on what fits best for your specific issues and goals.
