About this provider
Clients I Work With
I serve individuals (14+) and couples navigating challenges such as trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, and general feelings of dissatisfaction.
In my work with couples, I recognize that communication is often a major barrier to connection. Many partners are also managing their own mental health needs, which can complicate interactions and contribute to misunderstandings. I provide a safe, supportive environment where both individuals can openly express their thoughts and emotions. Together, we explore the underlying dynamics affecting connection and work collaboratively on strategies to enhance mutual understanding and empathy.
With individuals, I focus on self-discovery and skill-building. I support clients in developing personalized coping strategies that align with their unique experiences and mental health needs.
Approach
Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approaches, I help couples build practical skills for healthier communication. This includes learning how to express needs effectively, navigate conflict, and cultivate emotional intimacy. I guide partners in recognizing their individual needs within the relationship and collaborating to integrate those needs in meaningful ways. My goal is to empower couples to reconnect and strengthen their bond, even in the face of personal struggles.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
My background in primary care informs my holistic approach to wellness, integrating both emotional and physical well-being into our sessions.
