Challenges are inevitable, but your response can shape your journey. Therapy can provide the tools you need to navigate these challenges with greater ease and purpose. As a licensed therapist (LMFT 144461), I'll support you in becoming more authentic, fostering healthy connections, and living in alignment with your true self.
I work as a psychotherapist, conduct research, teach doctoral students in Clinical Psychology, & write a blog in Psychology Today, "Our Empathic Nature." As a research & clinical psychologist, I aim to keep current in fields related to my clients problems, and to work collaboratively with them
I deeply believe that therapy can be transformative and that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. I prioritize honoring the authentic self even when life gets messy and emotions are painful. I’m most inspired by the humans that I work with every day that show tremendous resilience and resourcefulness with life’s challenges.
Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. 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 so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
Every person has the potential and inner knowledge to overcome hardship. It is my passion to help others create connections that facilitate that ability to heal. I provide a safe holding space where people can explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest. Life is going to present challenges, there is no getting around that. What we do now and how we move forward is what matters. I welcome you to come explore your negative beliefs and strengthen new positive adaptive beliefs that allow you to thrive in your daily life.
