I help couples struggling with communication to identify dysfunctional relational patterns that cause tension and distress. I support partners by empowering them to take ownership of the part they play in the relationship, and I help both partners show up fully in words and actions with each other. I weave together Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) and Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT, Level I) to pay attention to how partners react, how they see themselves, how they perceive their partners, and how they communicate their needs with each other. I integrate both modalities with a humanistic approach to address the issue in the relational pattern rather than the individuals in the relationship.

I have worked with couples experiencing trauma and betrayal. If there are further questions, we can discuss your desired work in a consult to see if we’re a good fit.
