Did you know that most couples are more dissimilar than similar? And that’s okay because it would be boring to date ourselves. During couples therapy, you’ll learn about your personal attachment style, your personal needs, and reflect on relationship patterns that were modeled for you in your life. You and your partner will learn how to have meaningful conversations even around sensitive topics. Miscommunication is common and together we’ll take time to make repairs where needed. You will learn how to recognize and communicate your needs and how to support your partner's needs. We’ll focus on core principles such as trust, commitment, and how to address conflict, in order for your relationship to thrive and be a source of joy and love.

When working one-on-one, with couples, or with families you will practice effective ways of managing stress, regulating emotions, and increasing happiness. Your healing journey begins with you sharing your story and becoming aware of your internal strength and resilience.

I believe in a nurturing, holistic, and integrative approach to therapy where sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. Additionally, I take on a mindfulness and strengths-based approach primarily drawing upon Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative and Solution-Focused Therapy to create a safe space for you to share your story, process and heal difficult emotions and transcend them in order to live your desired life.

Your destiny is to evolve. I believe that we are all on a journey of becoming wiser human beings, learning from our past experiences. It’s been said, “We can’t stop the waves, but we can learn how to surf.” As a therapist, I draw upon my teaching and counseling experience to help couples become an expert at surfing life’s challenges.
