My approach to therapy draws from 8 years of experience working in mental health programs with individuals, couples, and groups. I’ve practiced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Coaching, and Relaxation and Breathing techniques.
 
I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, a method that focuses on cultivating a more meaningful connection while supporting couples to access, communicate and understand each others’ deeper emotional needs. In recent studies, 90% of couples using EFT report increased satisfaction in their relationships, and 70-75% of couples were able to move from distress to recovery. This is even more impressive when one takes into account that the average couples therapy success rate is a mere 35%. Emotionally Focused Therapy is also a highly effective method that I also use for individual therapy. Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) offers the opportunity to better understand one’s own emotions, in order to feel empowered to make the changes desired with insight and confidence.
 
For clients who prefer it, I also offer “walk-and-talk” sessions, incorporating movement and fresh air into the therapeutic practice. To best suit the needs of every client, I create a personalized blend of these models. I ground my therapeutic approach in current scientific research and evidenced-based practices so I can offer the most effective outcomes. I understand the value of seeing the individual through their own lens. Every person’s perspective, history, environment, and social supports play a vital role in designing a therapeutic approach catered specifically for them. I enjoy helping clients examine these elements to draw from their past successes to find a way through their current struggles. In this process, many uncover unrecognized strengths and learn to harness them more consciously in daily life.
