FAQ
What can clients expect from working with you?
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after past experience, I’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore insights, self-understanding, and concrete actions that move you toward a life that reflects your deeper values and desires. I work in the present moment, while drawing on past experiences when useful—to help uncover old patterns that may no longer serve you and support the shift toward new, more aligned ways of being.
What are your core strengths as a therapist?
With a background in both traditional psychotherapy and mind-body medicine, I bring a grounded, integrative approach to healing and change. My style is warm, direct, and engaged—I don’t just hold space; I offer clear tools and perspectives to support transformation. My experience creating programs on boundaries, self-worth, relationships, and addiction recovery has shaped my ability to offer practical, effective guidance rooted in deep compassion and understanding.
Who do you work best with?
Over the past 20+ years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples through meaningful change. As a former Clinical Director of a program centered on trauma healing, healthy boundaries, and neurobiological support, I bring both depth and structure to the therapeutic process. I work especially well with those seeking to change long-standing relational patterns, rebuild connection, or navigate personal growth through life transitions, anxiety, or recovery work.
What are your Treatment Approaches & Modalities?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Together, we’ll identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, especially those shaped by a harsh inner critic. Using practical tools—including exercises and worksheets—I’ll support you in shifting toward more helpful, empowering perspectives and habits.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Drawing on my work developing a women’s residential program focused on attachment and boundaries, I help clients explore how early attachment patterns may be impacting current relationships. Whether working through co-dependence, anxious or avoidant attachment, we’ll develop strategies to build safer, more fulfilling connections.
Couples Counseling
With over 15 years of experience working intensively with couples—from rebuilding trust after infidelity to deepening emotional connection—I help partners hear each other in new ways and reconnect meaningfully. I often suggest structured practices between sessions to keep the momentum going.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
For clients looking to make specific changes, I offer a short-term, tool-based format—often working together for 6–12 months with increasingly spaced sessions as progress builds. Many clients return years later for a “tune-up” or to navigate new life challenges.
Mind-Body Integration
My work includes decades of study and training on the interaction between the nervous system, hormones, immune function, and stress response. I often integrate this lens—offering psychoeducation and body-based practices to help address anxiety, mood issues, and chronic stress patterns.
