About this provider

Clients I Work With

I specialize in adult and couples therapy, using the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication and connection. For individuals, I use evidence-based approaches to support emotional regulation, healing, and growth. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for exploring challenges, and together, we’ll build the tools you need to thrive.

Approach

My approach is rooted in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which provide you with tools to cultivate positive, self-affirming thoughts. When working with couples, I utilize the Gottman Method to foster healthy communication strategies that honor each person’s needs and emotions. As a compassionate guide, I am here to support you on your journey toward achieving your goals.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

Feeling overwhelmed is tough, but seeking help is a brave first step. Starting therapy can be challenging, but you don't have to face it alone. If you're ready for healing and personal growth, I'm here to support you. Let’s work together to build the life and relationships you deserve.
