I love seeing people grow in their relationships as well as the roles they fill in their day to day. I've worked with a huge variety of walks of life and am confident I can meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go. My specialty is working with dynamics (like couples or just difficult situations) as well as trauma. People usually comment on my ability to point out hard things without them feeling judged and my insight to help them think in new ways.
When working with couples, I utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which achieves the highest standard of research showing its effectiveness and has incredible outcome numbers (iceeft.com). I'm Certified in EFT as well. I also commonly use an approach known as EMDR for individuals (EMDRIA.org). Regardless of who I see, though, attachment theory influences everything I do. This is the idea that people find safety, security, and even healing in loving relationships.
I tell people the same thing in our first session. I don't go deep unless you want to because I know you are still getting to know me and building trust with me. I focus on getting to know the context of your life (like work, family, social relationships, and lifestyle) but if there's anything specific you want to make sure we talk about in our first session we can.
