I specialize in working with people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or distressed in career, life situation, or around their relationships, whether with a significant other, family, friends, or social situations. Often this involves working with challenging relationship dynamics, insecurities, sense of self, sense of purpose, or past trauma. My approach combines my experience in both psychotherapy and coaching and is direct, compassionate, and transformative. I utilize the proven research focusing on the neurobiology of attachment along with a holistic toolbox including mindfulness and somatic (body oriented) awareness.I have specialized expertise in working with couples, and have successfully helped couples and individuals work through difficult relationship issues including challenging communication, betrayal, loss of intimacy, parenting challenges, sexual trauma, multicultural dynamics, and preparing for marriage. I am trained in EFT, Gottman, and Tatkin's PACT therapy.I'm here to support you to not only talk about feelings and integrate meaningful past events, but to also show up differently and feel empowered in your life and relationships to be more in alignment with your authentic self. Utilizing my background in coaching, we'll talk about your goals, the roadmap to get there, and how I can support you along the way.
