Treatment Approaches
With over 25 years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I help uncover the roadblocks that may be keeping you from the peace and fulfillment you deserve. My approach is warm, practical, and deeply supportive—offering a space where you can explore, heal, and grow with guidance.
-
You are stronger than you think. This approach focuses on uncovering your inner strengths and using them as a foundation for healing, growth, and lasting change.
-
Pain from the past doesn’t have to define your future. I use proven techniques from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), narrative therapy, IFS (internal family systems), and mindfulness-based stress reduction to process trauma and help you regain a sense of control and safety.
-
The way we think shapes the way we feel. By identifying unhelpful thought patterns and shifting them, CBT helps reduce anxiety, depression, and self-doubt while building healthier coping skills.
-
Families are complex and the way we learned to relate and adapt in our family of origin is carried into adulthood. Understanding these systems, untangling unhealthy patterns and redefining healthy coping skills and communication can deeply impact our emotional (and sometimes physical) well-being, as well as build more supportive relationships.
-
Every relationship has its challenges but lasting love is built on trust, respect and communication. I draw from the Gottman method of couples therapy, which draws on 40 years of research to help couples enhance friendship, manage conflict and create shared meaning.
-
Loss changes us, but we don’t have to navigate it alone. I have extensive experience helping individuals sit with their loss (with no linear expectation), create rituals and meaning if and when desired, and assist in a path to grieving fully while living fully. I can help you differentiate between profound but “normal” grief and clinical depression or prolonged grief disorder (PGD) or Complicated Grief.
-
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of stress and exhaustion. I teach practical tools such as mindfulness-based stress reduction to manage stress, restore balance and build resilience.
