Centered in Connection
I am passionate about relationships! Humans are wired for connection, and we live happier and healthier lives within supportive, loving relationships. It is my honor to share my years of study, training, and experience with you and your loved one as you navigate the challenges of partnership. I am trained in Gottman method and have been implementing their research in my experience of relationships for almost two decades. I offer a therapeutic space where you and your partner can feel seen and understood. Let’s work together to understand your emotions and the negative cycles that keep you and your partner feeling stuck and alone.
I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is an evidence-based model rooted in attachment theory that promotes emotional regulation through emotional expression. In couples, there is often a pursuer and a withdrawer, which results in both people feeling unhappy in their roles, but unsure how to break out of old patterns. Couples therapy provides a space where you and your partner can practice expressing your emotions, listen with your hearts and experience closeness that extends to your life outside of therapy.
