Great to meet you!

I am a seasoned clinician with 10 years' experience who works primarily with women and couples experiencing ongoing stress that hampers connection and general wellbeing.

My approach to therapy

Are you tired of therapy that results in little or no symptom relief or improvement in connection and communication? What about a new approach? For individual therapy, I use a multi-faceted approach with EMDR, somatic therapy, and nervous system reset. For couples, I use a combination of Gottman and communication skill building. Research is finding no one method is effective in addressing symptoms related to trauma and/or ongoing stress.

What you can expect from me

Sometimes I will give specific homework assignments, requests to practice a new skill, or reflect on an insight from the session. Clients who follow through with requests between sessions make the greatest progress.
