Therapy Services

I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and periods of identity development or change. My goal is to meet each client where they’re at—whether that means creating a safe space to process and feel understood or exploring deeper patterns that may be getting in the way of growth. I use various modalities including but not limited to: Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Person Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients heal from trauma, including relationship trauma, work-related trauma, and childhood trauma or abuse. I integrate different therapy modalities to best support each person’s unique needs and work collaboratively toward improving self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence. If at any point I feel that another clinician would better meet a client’s needs, I will always refer out to ensure the best and most ethical care possible.

I enjoy working with men navigating stress, identity, relationships, and the pressure to meet internal or external expectations in today’s world. My approach recognizes that men often benefit from a therapeutic process that prioritizes authenticity over forced vulnerability, allowing insight and emotional openness to develop naturally over time. I use an active, collaborative style that blends evidence-based modalities tailored to what resonates most with each client, rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are direct, grounded, and often incorporate humor because meaningful work doesn’t have to feel rigid or overly formal. I welcome honest expression in all forms and believe language, humor, analogies or emotions, can all be a powerful part of getting you where you want to be.

I work with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method to help partners deepen their connection and strengthen trust. My goal is to attune to each partner while guiding you both to better attune to one another—creating a space where each person feels heard, valued, and understood. Couples therapy can be a powerful tool to rebuild trust after disconnection, navigate communication challenges, and nurture emotional intimacy. Whether you’re healing from past hurts, hoping to strengthen your bond, or adapting to relationship changes after having children, therapy offers a supportive environment to grow together and create a more secure, lasting relationship.

I offer premarital therapy to help couples build a strong foundation before marriage. Traditionally, premarital therapy is facilitated in religious environments, and my goal is to expand this valuable resource to non-religious and interfaith couples. Premarital therapy is a valuable way to strengthen communication, deepen understanding, and explore important topics such as finances, family dynamics, sexual intimacy, conflict resolution, and shared values. It’s not about finding problems—it’s about preparing for success and learning tools to navigate life together with confidence and connection. As a LMFT and certified facilitator through Prepare/Enrich, I use proven assessments and guided conversations to help you and your partner grow in awareness, strengthen your bond, and set your relationship up for a healthy and lasting future.

I provide family therapy grounded in family systems theory, which views individual concerns as deeply connected to relational patterns developed within the family of origin. My clinical training is rooted in understanding how symptoms, conflict, and emotional distress often emerge and are maintained within the structure of the family system rather than in isolation within one person. I primarily draw from Structural Family Therapy, which focuses on reorganizing interactional patterns and boundaries within the family unit, and Bowenian Family Therapy, which emphasizes differentiation of self, multigenerational patterns, and emotional reactivity within relationships. In practice, this means we work to identify and shift long-standing dynamics that may be contributing to tension, miscommunication, or emotional distance. I commonly work with family systems that include adolescents and their parents, as well as adult children navigating complex relationships with their parents. The goal is to help families move toward healthier communication, increased understanding, and more adaptive ways of relating across generations.
