It's understandable that the challenges you've faced have left you with a bleak outlook for the future of your relationship. You're looking for a glimmer of hope and wondering what the first step towards "the light" looks like. My approach to therapy is grounded in the strength-based perspective that you have resources within to achieve your therapeutic goals when supported and equipped with tools to succeed in a nonjudgmental environment.
We will unpack your life story from a systemic perspective that takes into account all of the people, events and influences that have shaped your worldview and work towards creating a new story, authored by you, while interrupting the negative cycles that have plagued your relationship. This approach unlocks the potential of your best days being ahead.
In spite of what you feel like in this moment, acknowledging that you want better for yourself is a sign of strength and the first step towards achieving your goal. Allow me to walk with you on your journey to wellness

My training in Marriage and Family Therapy enables me to work with individuals, couples and families, but my passion is couples work. During our initial sessions, we'll indentify the problem then create a treatment plan including tools to address communication and conflict resolution skills.

I work with clients from a Narrative Therapy perspective. In individual and couples sessions, I've found that clients are oftentimes unknowingly living out stories told to them by society or their childhood/families that conflict with what they desire for themselves. During treatment I'll help empower you to create your new story and externalize problems that have been challenging you.
