I provide individual therapy to adults seeking to address a range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self worth, identity, boundaries, addiction, chronic illness, and life transitions. Through a collaborative and strengths-based approach I help clients develop coping strategies, improve their relationships, and enhance their overall well-being.
I provide couples therapy to couples seeking to improve their communication, build stronger relationships, improve physical and emotional intimacy, work through conflicts, and manage various other challenges. Through a non-judgmental and empathetic approach I help couples develop effective communication skills, identify negative patterns, and learn strategies to work through their issues collaboratively.
I provide free 20 minute consultations so you can ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process, and to ensure I'm a good fit for you and the issues you wish to address.
If paying the full fee for therapy services is a challenge for you, feel free to inquire about sliding scale options for a reduced session rate.
Clinical Approaches
Internal Family Systems Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based model that operates on the premise that we all have many parts, or aspects, of ourselves.
IFS is a non-pathologizing integrative approach that helps us connect with various parts that may be holding painful experiences or emotions, including shame, inadequacy, or anger. Parts try to protect us from pain and inadvertently prevent us from being our authentic selves.
"Self" includes characteristics of curiosity, compassion, calm, connectedness, clarity, creativity, courage, and confidence. In this model self is who we authentically are.
​
IFS helps us connect with and learn about parts, witness their experiences, heal their wounds, and ultimately live more in "self". In IFS all parts are welcome.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method is designed to support couples across all economic, racial, sexual orientation, and cultural sectors.
​
Relationship issues that may be addressed with this model include: Conflict and arguments, poor communication, emotional distance, sexual difficulties, parenting issues, financial challenges, and many others.
​​
Even couples with “normal” levels of conflict may benefit from this method. The aim is to help couples build stronger relationships overall and incorporate healthier ways to cope with future issues as they arise.
​
This model uses many tools, in and out of session, to bring couples closer together by gaining a deeper understanding of each others inner psychological worlds.
