My training is in marriage and family therapy, and thus I work with individuals, couples and families.
One of my main clinical interests is marital therapy; I am passionate about premarital preparation and marital work with couples who have encountered disappointment, conflict, divorce ideation, and with couples who just feel “stuck.” If you are looking to heal or simply improve your relationships, I would be honored to join in that process with you.
I also have experience treating adolescents, undergraduate and graduate students, families, and trauma survivors (emotional, physical, and sexual), and have worked extensively with people struggling with depression and anxiety.
I utilize evidence-based approaches such as solution-focused therapy, attachment theory, and internal family systems ("parts work"). I am also passionate about integrating Catholic Christian spirituality into treatment when requested by my clients. During sessions, my goal is to establish an environment that is empathetic, collaborative, and goal-focused.
St. Teresa of Calcutta said, "Self knowledge puts us on our knees, and it is very necessary for love. For knowledge of God gives love, and knowledge of self gives humility." My hope is that the therapeutic process will lead clients toward a greater understanding of self, of relationship, and of self-compassion. I would love to hear from you.
