My approach is focussed on helping you feel understood and empowered to make positive changes in your relationships with others and with yourself. I bring a systemic view to my practice to help you identify patterns that are not working for you and help you develop healthier patterns that lead to more fulfilling relationships. I believe in infusing our sessions with warmth, honesty, a sprinkle of humor, and the latest reseach-backed techniques to help you reach your goals.
Grounded in attachment theory, I work with individuals and couples to master effective dialogue skills, create safety, increase positivity, reduce negativity, and improve their ability to manage emotions when triggered.
My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, empathy, humor, and a caring yet direct approach. I enjoy helping clients create the kind of change that makes them happier and fulfilled. I offer a free 15 minute video conference so that we can have a chance to meet each other and see if you would like to work with me.
