I work with individuals, couples, teens and families who want to improve the way they experience life - the desire for better relationships with themselves and with others, and to gain a sense of purpose and meaning. I specialize in trauma and relational work with training leading up to licensure in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy.
I use a number of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, Gottman, and EFT in my practice, which connect thoughts to feelings and feelings to thoughts, enabling my clients to change and grow in the positive direction that they envision for themselves. I work with clients who have struggled with addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship separation, internal conflict and conflict with others, grief and loss, and other transitions and adjustment issues.
I work with clients to figure out useful goals for therapy which are realistic and achievable to provide a sense of purposeful autonomy. In working towards these goals I find it helpful to continually gage how the emotional blocks can be removed as part of the process.
