Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified IMAGO Relationship Therapist, MFT, and EMDR
In addition to being a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist , I became certified in Imago Relationship Therapy providing couples with the tools and skills required to actually turn conflicts into loving connections.
As a couples therapist my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for couples to explore their emotional patterns, understand their deeper needs, and find healthier ways to communicate. By delving into your emotional experiences and the patterns that may have led to disconnection or conflict, we can work together to shift these patterns towards creating a more secure, resilient, and loving bond.
Whether you're experiencing a relationship crisis, struggling with communication, or simply wishing to deepen your connection, I believe in your capacity to change and grow within your relationship. Together, we will strive to rekindle the emotional bond that brought you together, enabling a relationship that is fulfilling, supportive, and emotionally rich. Remember, it is never too late to heal, grow, and foster a thriving relationship with your partner.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.
Before, during, after a marriage. What couple doesn't benefit from a little tune up now and again? Is it communication? How can we express ourselves authentically without letting our trauma get in the way? Are we actually listening? Communication is a set of skills that can be learned, honed, and practiced over time. It is not the magic cure to all that ails, but it is a helpful first step. When a couple is able to communicate effectively they are able to deepen their exploration of each other and start to connect and heal in meaningful ways.
I am a relationship therapist. I help couples in relationship distress. Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling lost in conflict cycles which they don't understand and desperately want to change. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling hurt, discouraged, angry, or humiliated. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, please contact me.
I realized early in my clinical practice that I wanted to focus on couples therapy. In addition to many hundreds of hours working with couples in distress, I have pursued training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman approach. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
Please know that no matter what you bring to couple therapy, I will meet you with compassion. I will help you explore what isn’t working in your relationships and why. We work together to understand what you want and need and to identify the changes you want to make. Together, we create solutions that work for you.
I focus on relationship counseling and helping couples develop better skills around speaking and listening, relationship alignment and understanding agreements, mixed libido situations, and learning how to overall communicate clearly and getting results from your time together.
I love working with couples! I am extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and blend in body awareness, mindfulness, and psychoeducation around emotional regulation. My couples learn how to get underneath their own reactive /protective behaviors in order to better understand and communicate their needs in a way their partner can hear and more effectively respond to. This builds trust, safety, and authenticity in the relationship.
I have extensive training in couples therapy and I love helping you express vulnerable emotions to your partner. I can help you with communication skills and tools to improve your relationship or marriage.
