We all can feel overwhelmed & closed off when dealing with life's obstacles, transitions, & everyday hiccups. I love working with couples who are ready to heal their "inner child" together & effectively heal their shadows and shame utilizing Gottman Method Couples, IFS, EMDR, and find this work SO deeply meaningful! Life IS amplified when we harness our authentic values, trust our intuition, set boundaries with self and others. I love building effective communication in a way that allows us to connect deeply to self & others closer. Perfectionism can be difficult for our interpersonal relationships and our inner child.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 21 years of experience working with youth, adults, couples, & families, and corporations to improve. I specialize in working with high performing adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD/OCPD, ADHD, & Personality Disorders. I utilize Gottman Method Couples, Mindfulness, CBT-TF, DBT, EMDR, and IFS approach.
Life is a beautiful struggle, especially when we want to be purposeful with its outcome. I desire to help you live an authentic life, with love and compassion, free from shame and guilt. If you have any questions about how I approach therapy or what type of treatment may be best for you, please schedule a free 15 minute consultation on my website today!
