Therapeutic Style: My approach is eclectic, utilizing proven modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals. For couples and marriage counseling, I draw upon specialized methods, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the comprehensive approaches of the Gottman Institute, where I received certification. I blend this clinical work with coaching principles to offer honest, practical guidance, empowering you to discover your own path to healing and growth.

The first session is focused on building trust and clear direction. You can expect to feel affirmed and genuinely heard as we discuss your goals. We will immediately begin exploring new ways of approaching your challenges. For couples, I use the Emotionally Focused Approach (EFT) to help you understand the dynamics that are keeping you stuck.
