Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I’ll start by asking some background questions to get a clear understanding of your history and experiences. Then, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll create clear goals and develop a plan tailored to your needs, so you know what to expect moving forward. This session is a safe space to share openly and start building a path toward the changes you want
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is being down-to-earth and approachable, which helps clients feel comfortable and safe from the very start. I blend evidence-based methods like CBT, the Gottman Method, and EFT with a collaborative and compassionate style that respects your unique journey. Clients often appreciate how I offer practical tools alongside deeper emotional understanding, guiding them toward meaningful and lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support individuals and couples who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break, or disconnected from themselves or their partner. If you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trust issues, or healing after betrayal, I offer a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re looking to rebuild after a relationship rupture or reconnect with your sense of self, I’ll help you work through the tough parts and move toward lasting change.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I regularly incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) in my work, especially with clients seeking practical tools and short-term progress. I focus on identifying strengths, exploring exceptions to the problem, and helping clients envision their preferred future. SFBT allows me to guide clients toward realistic, goal-oriented steps by highlighting what’s already working and building on it.
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method in my work with couples to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. I incorporate tools like the Sound Relationship House, conflict management strategies, and love map exercises to help partners understand each other better and break negative cycles. This structured, research-based approach supports lasting relationship repair and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients dealing with anxiety and depression by helping them recognize and reframe negative thought patterns. Through structured techniques, we work on building healthier coping strategies, reducing emotional distress, and increasing day-to-day functioning. CBT provides a practical, evidence-based approach that empowers clients to make lasting changes in how they think and feel.
Couples Counseling
In couples counseling, I specialize in helping partners navigate infidelity repair by rebuilding trust, addressing emotional wounds, and restoring connection. I use a combination of the Gottman Method and emotionally focused strategies to guide couples through open communication, accountability, and healing. My goal is to support both partners in understanding the impact of the betrayal while creating a path forward based on honesty, empathy, and renewed commitment.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in my work with couples to help them understand and change the emotional patterns that keep them stuck in conflict or disconnection. EFT focuses on identifying core emotions and attachment needs, allowing partners to move from blame and defensiveness to vulnerability and connection. This approach is especially powerful in infidelity repair, as it helps rebuild emotional safety and strengthen the bond between partners.
