About
My practice specializes in helping individuals and couples resolve relational distress. Relationships are so important to our mental and emotional well-being, working with a therapist to improve relational health will impact your life personally and as a family. When we work with clients whether it is individually or as a couple, we work to understand and heal dynamics that most clients are not aware are contributing to the health in their relationships. Sometimes that means working with clients as a couple, individually, or both. Clients who work with me see an improvement in personal mental health and relationships. When we work with clients we work through a well designed road map to relational repair. We will dig deep in the interactions a couple has to find an underlying pattern that is leading to disconnection. Once we identify this pattern we will work to make shifts to stop the patten, and then we will create a new pattern that leads to connection. The struggles in an unhappy marriage can be all-consuming, a couple is usually trying so hard to be close but somehow wounds feeling more distant no matter how hard they try. It leaves both people in the relationship feeling alone and hurt, missing out the thriving marriage they hoped for. It is an honor for our team to walk these struggles with couples. Specialties: During sessions we will gain understanding for the pattern in the relationship that leads to disconnection. To do this we will process history of past relationships and gain an understanding for how each person has learned to adapt in relationships and how it might be causing disconnection. During this process clients process their own relationship with emotions and view of self. Credentials & Experience: I have worked with clients for five years and have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and individuals. I am pursuing certification in Focus on the Families, Focused Marital Therapy. Giving me the ability to integrate mental health, relational health, and Christian faith.
"My approach to therapy is emotion focused and attachment based. I work with couples in distress helping them understand themselves, their spouse and their marriage better. My approach is supportive and empathetic but also direct and instructive. You will leave sessions understanding your needs and the needs of your partner and how to connect on a deeper level."
