About

Humans experience change. Sometimes change is welcomed, other times change will cause a negative mood state. As a relational therapist with advanced training in Gottman techniques, I work with couples to facilitate change that includes trust with a secure attachment style. Individual therapy looks a bit different. From birth, relationships shape who we become, how we behave, and in-turn how we see and experience the world. Therapy allows for the exploration of lived-experiences and how those experiences impact us, as well as our relationships. We are wired for connection and therapy allows for an opportunity to reconnect. As a Level One Gottman therapist, I use my training to help couples navigate their relationships. Having received minors in Treatment & Prevention of Addictive Behavior, I recognize how patterned behavior leads to negative consequences. Whether sitting with the couple or individual, I explore how past experiences may by negatively impacting the 'now.'
