I focus on couple/relationship healing. I applaud your start toward improving your relationship with your partner. Whether you're coming from feeling stuck in a persistent pattern, struggling to find connection again, or moving through a transition; beginning work with a caring, objective professional can help you find the outcome you desire. I see therapy as a journey toward healing where you invite me to join you. My job is to help you achieve your goals and restore your connection.
I am open and curious in meeting my clients, learning their stories, and engaging fully with all they bring to session (including those behaviors and feelings they don't like and are eager to change.I don't have a standard therapy recipe but tailor my approach to fit each client uniquely.
I enjoy working with individuals and families, although I particularly enjoy working with couples. In couple work I use a model called IFIO which can move couples from a negative reactive pattern toward a warm, engaged, and supportive intimacy. Less conflict and more US.

For couple therapy I use a treatment model called Intimacy From the Inside Out which looks for behavior patterns that show up in each partner during conflict. IFIO validates each partner's behavior but at the same time looks for underlying issues that might drive the behavior. it does this all without blaming anyone. The path forward in couple therapy involves finding new options for responses.
