I utilize the Gottman Method when working with couples, an approach based on four decades of breakthrough research with over 3000 couples.
Life can be painful. Therapy doesn't have to be. Many people see therapy as one sided, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain and able to deal with life on your terms.

In couples work, I use evidence-based concepts from The Gottman Method and EFT to provide tools to improve relating in concrete ways.
AAMFT Approved Supervisor Candidate: Supervising LMFT and LPC Resident Counselors. (Fairfaxcounseling.org) Specializing in Couples Counseling and youth/young adults, my commitment is to provide a non-judgmental atmosphere where we face hard issues to grow and find more peace in your life. Leaving shame at the door, we dig into what is keeping you "stuck" and find practical tools to move forward. The therapist-client relationship gives one freedom, maybe beyond any other setting, to be fully open, honest and press forward to the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy focuses on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. This allows clients to work through their struggles in an emotionally safe, non-judgmental, honest, and compassionate space. The journey of working through struggle becomes an opportunity for growth and healing.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, but my passion is working with couples.
