I do my best to help couples find ways to connect, build trust, and learn how to turn toward each other regardless of past experiences and hurts.

Therapy style
My focus in individual therapy uses Attachment Theory as a springboard to better understand the underlying messages that shape how people see themselves as individuals and in relationships. Sharing a life with someone is hard. Having an expectation that this life will somehow match what we see in movies or read in books can make anyone feel like a failure. In my practice, I do my best to help couples find ways to connect, build trust, and learn how to turn toward each other regardless of past experiences and hurts.
From there, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help determine the values and principles that help people live their best lives. And I turn to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools when thoughts get sticky.
