Waitlist for new clients
I work with adults and couples through a multifaceted approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused/Attachment Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy.
I once heard it said that "Mental health problems need to be viewed as proof of our humanity, not an exception to it." Such problems in today's world often present themselves as anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, isolation, stagnation, trauma, relationship strain, etc. and can leave people feeling like they are merely existing rather than living. Does this sound familiar to you? If it does, then a counselor like myself may be able to help you through it.

I work with adult men and women that are ready to work through trauma, depression, anxiety, identity development, emotional regulation skills and addiction. I also work with couples to help their relationship become more healthily attached. The Gottman Method and EFT therapy are two approaches to couples counseling that I have received training, and apply to my work with couples. I am also EMDR trained, and work with individuals in their trauma through an EMDR lens.

Accepting new clients. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma that leads to difficulties with regulating emotions. I support clients who experience overwhelming anxiety that leads to behaviors like shutting down, self injurious behaviors and withdrawal from social situations. The clients I work with are willing to unpack childhood and the unconscious to increase self awareness and help them make sense of their current behaviors. I also work with couples who struggle with communication that leads to discontentment in their relationships.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, or noticing continued patterns of conflict. Whatever is bringing you to counseling, we can work together to discuss what might benefit you the most at this time in life. Your willingness to seek help opens the door to discovering how you might create the change you wish for yourself, whether you're looking to explore something that has been deeply impactful, better understand yourself, learn how to effectively communicate and feel connected in your relationships, or feel like 'you' again.

We were all teenagers once, and can often recall struggles, such as bullying, depression, anxiety, and fears during adolescence. Many of my clients struggle with the daily challenges of being a young person in this world. I know that the parents also struggle and I provide support for the children, and families. I also see adults and I'm happy to provide trauma based therapy to anyone aged 12 and up. My passion is to help others to grow and change in a way that complements the type of life that they want to live, rather than what they are currently struggling with. I would be delighted to be a part of your counseling journey.

Are you exhausted from stress, never-ending mental loads, and responsibilities in addition to feeling hopeless about your mental health? Let's be honest, therapy can be scary and intimidating to start! From personal experience, I avoided therapy for years until I took the leap and noticed the incredible impact it had on my quality of life. I believe in person-centered approaches, where YOUR sessions are tailored to YOU and not a "one-size fits all" method. I want you to feel heard and understood, while also challenging you to work towards your best self. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself - you deserve it!

I believe people are born good and have an innate drive to constantly do better. I also believe when things happen in our lives that prevent us from reaching that potential, we may need gentle guidance to help us reach the potential we desire. Working together, we will strive to find the ways that will individually suit you to help you reach your personal goals. Having worked with individuals from age 7 to 90, couples, individuals, families, and groups, there is a need for diversity in counseling in order to meet each person where they are.

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
