HOW I APPROACH THERAPY
In my experience, the most success occurs when the therapeutic relationship is based on trust, authenticity, vulnerability, and truth. As I get to know each client, I will focus on using clients' natural strengths to infuse areas that are reportedly more challenging. My work is process-oriented and based on individual needs; however, I always include elements of psycho-education in my practice, as it is so often true that many of the issues we struggle with can be partially solved by “knowing better”.
AREAS OF SPECIALTY
COUPLES
As of November, 2021, I am a Certified PACT Level 2 Therapist working with couples. PACT stands for a "Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy" and was developed by Stan Tatkin, PsyD.

HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSONS
As of early 2016, I have added the speciality of working with "Highly Sensitive Persons” (HSPs) based on the work of Dr. Elaine Aron, psychologist and researcher who has spent her life advocating for HSPs across the globe. For more information, Dr. Elaine Aron’s website offers a ton of resources and research regarding sensitivity: www.hsperson.com.
