Treatment methods
Attachment-based
I incorporate attachment-based theory into my therapeutic approach to foster a deeper sense of self understanding and self acceptance in my clients. By exploring early attachment patterns and how they influence current relationships, I help clients gain valuable insight into their thinking, behaviors, emotions. This approach creates a safe and empathetic space where clients can process their experiences, develop healthier connections, and ultimately feel more confident in their relationships with themselves and others.
Couples Counseling
Sociologists and anthropologists insist that we are meant to be in relationships. But goodness, relationships can be hard! Like, ‘how do you fold a fitted sheet’ hard. But just like with that sheet, even the toughest relationship issues are possible to figure out (even if it still looks a little messy or takes some time). As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with almost 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families tackle the ‘fitted sheets’ in life, my goal is to help you get unstuck and to feel supported along the way. Whether you are talking (or arguing) in circles, feeling disconnected, or feel like you need a GPS to navigate the emotional chaos, my job is to help you find clarity, connection, and confidence. Clients appreciate that I try to bring a sense of humor (when appropriate) to the work we do together, and that… I am approachable, down to earth, and focus on making sure everyone in the room has a voice and feels validated and understood. I incorporate tools from a variety of therapeutic models, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory. However, I recognize that every client/couple is unique, and we will work together to find a style that resonates with you. I welcome all couples and specialize in high conflict relationships, communication breakdowns, couples feeling “in a rut”, infidelity/affairs, intimacy/sexual relationships, parent-child related concerns, and working with adoptive parents, blended families, co-parenting relationships, and LGBTQ+ relationships. I look forward to partnering with you as we navigate the fitted sheet folding together.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) into my work, helping clients explore and understand the emotional patterns that shape their relationships. By focusing on the core emotions that drive behavior, I assist clients in creating more secure, meaningful bonds with their loved ones. EFT provides a structured pathway for clients to process their emotions and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling connections, whether in romantic relationships, family dynamics, or personal growth.
Gender-affirming therapy
I provide gender-affirming therapy, offering a supportive and validating space for individuals exploring or navigating their gender identity. My approach centers on respecting each person's unique experience, helping clients embrace their authentic selves while addressing any challenges related to gender dysphoria, social pressures, or identity development. Through this inclusive and affirming approach, I empower clients to feel seen, understood, and confident in their journey of self-discovery.
