About My Practice
CONVERSATION-FOCUSED, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
I use a personalized approach, combining various therapeutic techniques to help you explore your experiences and overcome challenges. I draw eclectically on existential, narrative, and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with Gottman and EFT (emotionally focused therapy/attachment theory) influences. I believe that you are the expert on you, and we will work together to find the best way forward.
YOUR COMFORT MATTERS
I focus on building a safe, kind, and respectful space where couples can explore their experiences and strengthen their bond through heartfelt conversations and developing new patterns of interaction.
MY BACKGROUND
With decades of experience working with people with diverse backgrounds, I bring empathy, calm, and a touch of humor to my therapeutic relationships, fostering trust and healing.
