How I work
My work is grounded in three things:
-
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps couples see the negative cycle they're caught in and reconnect underneath it.
-
The Gottman Method. I'm Gottman Level 2 trained, and I use its assessment and tools to build friendship, manage conflict, and create shared meaning.
-
Mindfulness and relational mindfulness, which help us slow down, notice what's happening inside us, and stay present with each other when things get hard.
I'm calm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe each person has their own strength and wisdom, and my job is to help you and your partner find it again, together.

Couples who feel stuck in the same argument, or who've grown distant

The person behind the practice
Before becoming a therapist, I spent time in business and talent development at a Fortune 50 company, and I'm also a small business owner. That background gives me a real understanding of how work stress and personal life affect each other.
