I specialize in couples therapy and work with couples to reduce communication barriers, resolve conflicts, and address intimacy issues.

Complex relationship dynamics can cause considerable distress. Therapy provides a supportive resource for couples, individuals, and families, offering empathy, understanding, and attentive listening. I am committed to assisting you and your family in achieving your personal and relational objectives.

Clients appreciate that I employ evidence-based approaches grounded in extensive training, including the internationally recognized Gottman Method—a framework proven to strengthen partnership foundations.

My approach to therapy is listening, supportive, and goal-oriented, promoting openness, inclusivity, and respect for the client's autonomy. Therapy modalities I primarily use are Solution-Focused, Gestalt, and Narrative Therapy as the foundation for my therapeutic approach. Treatment goals are developed with the client to ensure their needs are met in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.

Clients are the authors of their own lives. The therapeutic relationship is strongly tied to the client's narrative. As a therapist, my role is to listen and highlight the client's strengths to problem-solve, develop personal goals, and empower their agency of self.

During our initial sessions, we will explore the presenting issues and then collaborate to create a strength-based goals plan with support, collaboration and understanding.
