Gottman Referral Network

About

I am the Clinical Director and Owner of a private practice, A Balanced Life, Inc., in South Lake Tahoe, CA where we have 7 therapists with a wide range of expertise implementing evidence-based therapies. I have completed my Level 2 Gottman training and am excited to offer couples therapy in-person in South Lake Tahoe or via online therapy.
I have been providing therapy for 12 years and am proficient in implementing mindfulness-based CBT for treating anxiety and mood disorders.
For couples I am able to implement the highly effective Gottman Therapy Method while infusing my own personal style of being honest, direct, at times using humor, and remaining non-judgmental. My hope is to work collaboratively with my clients to help them heal, grow and strengthen their relationships. I am passionate about my work and constantly educate myself to provide quality therapy. I know I've done my job well when my clients get to successfully graduate and use the skills learned in therapy on their own.
I understand the importance of having a healthy relationship on one's emotional, psychological and physical health. I feel very grateful to be able to help couples find their way back to security, appreciation, and thriving rather than surviving. With the techniques from the Gottman Method I feel confident and excited to help couples have a fulfilling, lasting relationship.
