As a heart-led, research-based psychotherapist, I believe that within each of us lies the innate capacity for awakening and healing. As a licensed clinical social worker specializing in couples and individual therapy, I approach our work together as a collaborative journey toward your desired goals. The therapeutic relationship flourishes when both parties actively engage in the healing process. When working with couples, I've found that meaningful change is almost always possible when both partners commit to the transformative work required.
I specialize in treating couples and relationship issues, anxiety and stress management, trauma recovery, chronic illness and pain management, grief and loss, and life transitions.
Therapeutic Approaches for individuals: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral techniques to help you develop awareness of challenging thought patterns and create healthier relationships with your thoughts and emotions. Internal Family Systems (IFS) recognizes that the mind naturally contains different "parts" or subpersonalities. This approach helps you identify and harmonize these internal aspects, fostering self-leadership and healing from within. Somatic Psychotherapy addresses the connection between mind and body, helping you release stored tension and trauma through body awareness and gentle physical interventions. Yoga Therapy & Meditation utilize ancient practices to regulate the nervous system, develop present-moment awareness, and cultivate inner resources for healing.
For Couples: The Gottman Method draws on over four decades of research to help couples build friendship, manage conflict constructively, and create shared meaning in their relationships.
Therapy is a sacred space for growth and transformation. I'm committed to walking alongside you on this journey, bringing both compassion and evidence-based approaches to support your healing process.
