Introduction

Whether you’re healing from the past, exploring identity, strengthening relationships, or growing into a more authentic version of yourself, I like to create a calm, compassionate presence for clients, where you have a space that helps you feel safe, seen, and supported. Even though I have 20+ years of experience, I am passionate about staying current and always learning new things by making sure I invest time in updated research and ongoing training. I view each individual, couple or family unit I work with as unique, therefore I structure an approach that is specific to you and for our work together. I do this through integrating approaches like Imago dialogue, Gestalt techniques, and the Gottman Method in our relationship work together.
