As a Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my intention to guide my clients through the therapy process in a safe and healthy environment. I utilize a solution focused approach to enable clients to become less entrenched in their problems and more focused on their strengths and resources to facilitate solutions to their problems. I also approach therapy from systemic perspective, meaning that each person is seen in the context of their family experience, social experiences, and relationship interactions. Above all, I believe that my presence as a safe person and the relationship that I develop with my clients is the most important factor in our journey through the therapy process.

In my work with couples, I often use the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model. In this approach the couple works together to build a secure attachment in their relationship and increase the accessibility and responsiveness of each partner to the other's emotional cues. This approach looks within at the couples emotional relatedness and between at how partners engage each other. The EFT model is one of the most highly researched and has shown a great amount of success for couples.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between the client and therapist. In this process, it is my intention to focus on the strengths of the client and highlight how these strengths will help the client to achieve their goals.

In addition to my practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher and provide private yoga sessions to yoga clients in their homes.
