Treatment Philosophy
I utilize evidence-based treatments that have been tested and shown to have significant impact. I primarily use techniques that are designed to better align you to your values, discover a deeper sense of meaning and to be more capable of adapting and coping with any environment.
I believe that each individual and each family has a unique background and perspective. It is my goal to actively honor and integrate this uniqueness to adapt treatment to best fit you and your needs.
My Approach
-
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy)
Emotionally Focused Therapy helps clients understand the patterns that shape their emotional and relational experiences. I use EFT to create clarity around core needs, attachment wounds, and the cycles that keep individuals or couples stuck. This approach offers a structured path toward deeper connection, emotional safety, and long-term change.
-
Gottman Method
The Gottman Method provides practical, research-based tools that strengthen communication, build trust, and reduce conflict. I use this model to help couples break unhealthy interaction patterns and replace them with skills that support understanding, teamwork, and intimacy. Gottman work is highly structured, making progress clear and measurable.
-
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT focuses on identifying the thoughts and beliefs that shape emotions and behaviors. I use CBT to help clients recognize patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Together, we develop new ways of thinking and responding so clients can experience more stability, confidence, and control in their daily lives.

SYMBIS (Premarital)
SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is a premarital assessment that offers couples a detailed, personalized understanding of their strengths, challenges, and dynamics. I use SYMBIS to guide engaged or seriously dating couples through essential conversations about expectations, communication, money, personality, conflict, and lifelong partnership. It offers a strong, proactive foundation for a healthy marriage.
