First of all
Welcome
I am glad that you are here. Life can present its challenges, and there are times when things do not seem to unfold as we had hoped. It is normal to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or lingering effects of past traumas that can strain our relationships and make us feel isolated. However, there is always hope to rediscover joy and acquire coping skills to help us move forward. I am committed to supporting you through these struggles. You are not alone.
Not to mention
My approach
I have received specialized training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an innovative, evidence-based treatment for trauma and distressing memories. ART helps clients quickly process and reframe traumatic experiences using eye movements and guided imagery, offering rapid relief from emotional and physical distress. This approach is highly effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related challenges.
As a certified facilitator of Prepare and Enrich, I help couples build stronger, more connected relationships. This leading relationship enhancement program is ideal for couples at all stages, whether you're preparing for marriage or seeking to deepen your connection. Through structured exercises and assessments, I guide partners in improving communication, resolving conflicts, and enhancing intimacy.
I am trained in the Gottman Method (Levels I & II), a research-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This method focuses on building strong, healthy relationships through effective communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection. With these tools, I support couples in strengthening their bond, repairing trust, and increasing intimacy.
In addition to specialized modalities, I incorporate an eclectic approach to therapy, blending techniques from various evidence-based models to suit your unique needs. These include:
Person-Centered Therapy: By creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment, I support you in exploring your true self and empowering positive change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective approach to addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors. I help clients identify and challenge these patterns, replacing them with healthier ways of thinking and acting.
Narrative Therapy: This technique allows you to explore the stories you tell about your life and reframe them to promote healing, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Gestalt Therapy: Focused on increasing self-awareness and emotional insight, Gestalt Therapy helps you understand your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings in the present moment, leading to greater authenticity and self-empowerment.
And let's not forget
