Couples

Couples therapy is the reason I became a therapist. Most of my own wounding happened in relationship and most of my healing has also happened in relationship, supported over the years by two truly wonderful therapists. It was in these sessions that I learned to communicate my needs (once figuring out what they were) and listen with empathy, validation, and kindness. 

My style is relational and I am informed by Gottman Therapy and Imago Therapy, but Emotion Focused Therapy (Attachment Theory) is more aligned with how I practice.

 I am dedicated towards culturally-sensitive care and I am aware of the impacts of intersecting axes of oppression on both systemic and individual levels. I also have clinical experience working with queer and transgender couples. I affirm sexual and gender diversity in my practice.
