I work great with...
- Individuals looking for deeper understanding of their relationships: romantic, family, friendship, roommate and more.
- Couples wanting to explore and process life transitions.
- Families wanting to foster deeper understanding, improved connection, and stronger bonds.
- Parents ready to learn how their family’s generational parenting patterns inform their relationship with themselves and their kids and develop new, effective parenting methods.
- Foster and adoptive families exploring trauma-informed parenting and working to build safety and trust at home.
Style & Approach
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and trauma-informed, child and adolescent development expert committed to helping families and couples learn how to communicate effectively, create a sense of safety at home and strengthen the bonds in their relationships.
When we’re feeling stuck or stressed in our relationships, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. In our sessions, I gently guide you and your loved ones to zoom out and gain perspective on your family dynamics, become grounded in the present and reconnect with your values for a clearer vision of your preferred future. Rooted in attachment theory and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), I approach our sessions with tenderness, warmth, and a genuine commitment to collaboration. I honor the unique needs and goals of your family, recognizing that each family is different and requires tailored support.
In therapy with me, everyone’s voice matters. In our sessions, we’ll take a break from the fast pace of family life and create space to slow down and foster an atmosphere where everyone feels safe, heard, and nurtured. Together, we’ll confront and navigate the heavy stuff with plenty of joy, humor, and warm fuzzies along the way.
Some of the approaches I Use...
- Emotion-Focused Therapy
- Attachment-Needs Exploration
- Trauma-Informed Care
- Client-Centered Care
- Resiliency-Focused Techniques
- Family Systems Techniques
- Trust-Based Relational Intervention Techniques
- Acceptance Commitment Therapy
- Solution-Focused
Fun Facts
The best Saturday afternoon is spent with my husband and our three teenagers.
Self-care for me is sitting in a hammock with a book or having friends over to tell stories, laugh, and share delicious snacks.
For me, creativity is picking up my camera and taking portraits. I consider it a profound privilege to connect with someone when I'm behind the camera and can capture another person's essence, beauty, resiliency, and story.
My favorite outdoor activity is listening to and identifying bird calls. It helps me to feel connected and fully present when I'm in nature.
My favorite animals are sharks because they are jawesome and fintastic. So, I celebrate Shark Week by sending out cards and surprising my loved ones with gifts that I call "shark attacks."
