I specialize in couples therapy because I am passionate about developing connections, improving communication, and understanding with ourselves and our partner(s). I have experience working with couples struggling with healthy, effective communication, healing attachment wounds, improving their physical, emotional, and mental connections, working through infidelity, becoming new parents, coping with life stressors together, and maintaining healthy relationships. Utilizing a systemic, relational approach I can assist individuals coping with relationship difficulties stemming from individual mental health concerns.
Through an integrative, collaborative therapeutic approach, individuals, couples, and families can facilitate positive changes in their lives. Through therapy, we can process, recover, and grow from past and current experiences to continue forward with effective communication and a deeper understanding of yourself and others.
In sessions, we practice empathy and communication, identify negative patterns, and develop strategies that lead towards the relationship you desire.
