Therapy style

I help people come face to face with the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep them feeling stuck and unfulfilled in life, marriage, and important relationships. I am passionate about helping people live a healthy and meaningful life as well as helping marriages and relationships thrive. While I believe that the past is important to understand the present and develop self-compassion, our work together will largely focus on the present. We will spend time processing your experiences as well as developing skills and tools to best support you on your growth journey. I use a variety of evidence-based interventions, tailored to your strengths and needs. Go-to therapeutic approaches utilized in our work together include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-Based, Positive Psychology, Couples Therapy/Gottman Method. I work collaboratively with you throughout the therapeutic process, to build a trusting and supportive relationship. It matters that you feel heard and understood. I will meet you were you are and consistently encourage your healing and growth.
