I work from an attachment-based model of therapy with all
couples
and pre-marital
couples
.
Gottman Method, Level 3 trained. It takes courage and vulnerability to take the initial step to come into counseling. I believe people seek counseling because they want something to be different in their lives, and I think the client can make those changes happen. In the counseling process, clients can be helped to understand themselves better, set personal goals, and be supported in development. I aspire to meet you wherever you are in your life journey, and I hope that you will feel valued, heard, and understood through our work together.

I specialize in working with relationships to improve your connection - whether you are married, in
relationship
with a significant other, adult parent-child, siblings, friends or coworkers.
What’s your pain? Difficulty in relationships or having relationships? Feeling overwhelmed or anxious with the circumstances of your life? Transitions, changes, or feeling like you don’t fit in your life? Is your
relationship
complicated by ADHD or chronic illness? I walk alongside you in your current circumstances, helping with that emotional overload, and resulting in you having new skills to manage your emotions while increasing your life functioning and
relationship
connections.

My clinical experience and specialization includes
Couples
Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals and
couples
, Gottman Therapy, Trauma informed therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Family Systems Theory, and Attachment Theory.
I am currently offering both telehealth and in-person sessions at a location in Beaverton. When therapy is conducted in a warm and non-judgmental environment, and an individual, couple, or a family feels safe and understood, it can be incredibly powerful in providing healing and growth from life's difficult past experiences and current challenges. As a strengths-based and client-centered Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work to create a safe place where a client's existing internal strengths are explored and they are able to create goals that build towards healing, growth, awareness, and positive change.

I believe healing happens in

, and during therapy we are able to learn, explore, heal, and practice who and how we want to be.
I provide counseling focused on transformation. My practice is grounded in wonder and awe, and is informed by the latest neurobiology. Together we will learn about how your body/mind/spirit work and then collaborate with your nervous system to advance changes you are seeking. My work is trauma-informed, anti-racist, queer/trans affirming, fat/body positive, embraces diversity of neurotypes, economic experiences, and abilities. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to promote cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioral transformation and unburden anxious, fear, and/or critical parts.

My purpose is to build a meaningful & supportive
relationship
with you.
Are you struggling? The things we wrestle below the surface are difficult to put into words. Feeling sad? disconnected? angry? You may have felt this way your whole life, or this could be a recent change. Please know you are not alone. Relationships are hard; life is complicated, and it's normal to go through periods of darkness & joy. It's also normal to feel like you're somewhere in between. Talking or thinking about these thoughts and feelings can be too difficult, so we occupy ourselves and find ways to cope. -There's an elephant here, let us deal with this elephant now.

We each have our own unique life story but the one desire we share is to be happy. Too often our happiness is buried beneath traumas and unhealthy relationships.I believe that one of the most important aspects of the process of change is rooted in the working
relationship
between the psychotherapist and the client. There are many different methods I may use to help my clients overcome the problems they wish to address. My approach is relaxed, down to earth, honest and direct. I value authenticity in my therapeutic relationships and I have an appreciation for spirituality. I look forward to meeting you where you are.

We can learn from our therapy

areas of interest include but are not limited to
relationship
issues, grief, trauma, life transitions, vocational stress, and emotional dysregulation.
I strongly value the unique intersectionality of each individual and/or collective identities and narratives. I am interested in focusing on and using the therapeutic
relationship
to explore, process, and re-build psychological patterns of self-worth and interpersonal dynamics that are underlying symptoms. I welcome collaboration in cultivating a curious and open space to empower growth in self-agency as well as growth in the capacity to reflect on the self, other, unconscious mind, and emotional experience. I believe this is vital for deepening self-compassion and integration of one’s various parts of self and history.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
