My first goal as a clinician is to cultivate a warm, friendly and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment that will help YOU reach YOUR treatment goals. Through building a strong, collaborative relationship with you, I hope to empower you to develop more effective strategies to cope with whatever brings you to therapy. I work collaboratively with you to identify goals and develop a treatment plan, while also being flexible enough during treatment to re-calibrate goals, change the focus of treatment and/or test out other approaches to reaching your goals. I am really excited about the opportunity to work with you!
I have specialized training and skills in couple therapy. I studied novel approaches to couple therapy in graduate school and completed a couple therapy fellowship at the San Diego VA . My approach to couple therapy is rooted in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
As a parent to a toddler, I'm on a mission to help partners reconnect with each other amidst the chaos of new parenthood. You and your partner deserve to feel like a team rather than ships passing in the night. I’m here to help you find your way back to your partner while stepping into your new role as parents.
