My practice is effective because I work with all parts of the self-- helping you move through the difficult experiences you have encountered and help bring meaning back to life!

My theoretical orientation is eclectic and integrative incorporating interpersonal process therapy (IPT) (here and now), psychodynamic, relational and CBT models. I approach therapy from a strengths based approach, focusing on client’s inherent strengths and resiliencies rather than their weaknesses. I also utilize CBT to focus on changing negative core beliefs and cognitive distortions and DBT to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal assertiveness skills. Lastly, I am very relational in my approach in order to provide clients with a corrective emotional experience and holding environment for them to feel safe, secure, empowered and validated.

Whether your personal life feels confusing, overwhelming, and stuck or your most meaningful relationships are marked by significant pain, unresolved arguments, and disconnection- meeting with a trusted professional can help you feel more fully yourself and able to build healthier relationships.

While I work with a broad range of relational and mental health challenges, I focus on treating trauma, infidelity, addictions, and couples issues. I am trained in Restoration Therapy, including a forgiveness model, EMDR trained, CSAT candidate, Prepare Enrich trainer.
