Couples Therapy
From Unseen & Unsure
to Known & Knowing
Welcome.
Every person deserves to know that they are enough and worthy of having their unique desires known. Feeling alone, lost or broken leaves us disconnected from those we love both physically and emotionally.
​
Knowing more about yourself, learning to express yourself, and offering empathy to your loved ones is key to healing your relationships and reconnecting with others in an intimate way.
​
My hope is that you will leave each session feeling validated, seen, and willing to connect with those you love.
Being a Therapist is my Passion
My work with clients is rooted in my desire to learn, understand, and apply theories and concepts that aid in healing. This work is very personal to me, because it provides a constant opportunity for me to reflect on my own life and relationships. It is a privilege and inspiration to observe my clients' lives, learn from their discoveries, and reflect their growth back to them!
If you are considering working with me, I am honored.​​​
What Supports My Practice
The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy
Think Differentiation meets Attachment Theory with a bit of Neuroscience mixed in. We cannot have one without the others and I will show you how to notice and grow in each area.
​
I continue my learning of the Developmental Model by being connecting and consulting with other therapists who use this model.
​
I am a Graduate of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy Training under Ellyn Bader Ph.D. at The Couples Institute
