What to Expect in Therapy

As your therapist, you can consider me your partner in growth. My goal is to help you break through the things holding you back from finding the joy and purpose we all deserve in life. As a clinician and former crisis counselor, I try to bring empathy, radical compassion, non-judgment, and a touch of humor to our sessions.

If you are a couple who has experienced infidelity, disconnection, or conflict, but you know your relationship matters to you and you want to repair, then I’m here for you. You will find a safe place to reconnect with your partner, learn communication skills, and shift the harmful patterns you fall into with each other.

Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety, past trauma, or relationship conflict, in therapy with me you will find a caring guide to help you to a better place. My therapy sessions are experiential, meaning we will learn and practice skills in session and connect with emotions in real time.

All of my work is evidence based. Couples sessions are grounded in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), both of which have large evidence bases to support them. In my individual work I mix techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with powerful mindfulness and body-based techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and Coherence therapy.

I know that finding a therapist you actually like can be really hard. I just dropped a bunch of theory terms and you may have no idea what any of those theories mean. Just know that it’s my goal to make every session worth it to you and impactful in some way, and I care deeply about you making progress in therapy.

So much of this process is finding a good fit with the person you work with. I hope I’m that good fit for you. If you are interested in finding out if we can work well together, please start by reaching out below.
