Gottman Referral Network

About

I am a psychotherapist and Intake Manager at Wildflower Center for Emotional Health. As a clinician, I enjoy working with couples who seek to build a more meaningful and joyful life together that is congruent with their key values. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the central pillar of all success in therapy. I seek to understand people and their challenges so that positive change – tailored to each person – can happen.

In sessions with me, you can expect a welcoming environment where genuine conversation and exploration can occur. My specialties include distress in romantic relationships, sex therapy, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, and various forms of identity upheaval. I have extensive experience treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and supporting couples who are navigating transition to parenthood, infertility struggles, and perinatal loss.

I recognize the challenges each person overcomes to start therapy and the courage required to begin that process. Together we will look for pragmatic and effective ways to ignite the process towards feeling better, living a more authentic life, and experiencing sustained joy.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Cornell College and my master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Chicago. I draw on multiple evidence-based frameworks and approaches, specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, the Gottman Method, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Trauma-Informed Care practices. In addition to being certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C), I'm a trained facilitator of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work workshop, and have completed advanced training in affair and trauma recovery through the Gottman Institute. I'm currently working towards becoming a certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.

I look forward to hearing from you!
