What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a supportive, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel safe, heard, and understood. Therapy with me is collaborative — we work together to identify goals, strengths, and approaches that fit your unique needs.
You can expect empathy, cultural sensitivity, and practical tools that can be applied in daily life. I integrate DBT skills for anxiety and emotional regulation, Brainspotting for trauma and grief processing, and solution-focused and systemic approaches to support meaningful progress and lasting change.
I work with young adults, adults, and couples. For couples therapy, I utilize Gottman Method Level 1 and Level 2 training, along with other couples and systemic therapy modalities, to help partners improve communication, navigate conflict, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional connection, and address relationship challenges in a constructive and supportive environment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin with an intake session to explore concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, or life transitions, while clarifying goals and creating a personalized treatment plan.
Sessions are tailored to each client’s or couple’s needs and may include:
Brainspotting to process trauma and grief
DBT skills to improve emotional regulation and reduce anxiety
Solution-focused tools to build insight, motivation, and positive change
Systemic therapies for relationship, attachment, and family dynamics
Gottman-informed interventions to strengthen communication, conflict resolution, emotional connection, and relational understanding in couples therapy
We continuously track progress, adjust strategies, and celebrate growth throughout the process. Many clients report feeling more emotionally balanced, empowered, connected, and resilient early in treatment. As an LMFT, I also consider relationship patterns, attachment dynamics, and interpersonal systems as important parts of healing and growth.
