My Therapeutic Approaches

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from several evidence-based methods to best support each client’s unique needs.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Together, we explore how your past experiences shape your present challenges. This approach increases self-awareness and self-empowerment, and can be especially helpful for concerns like depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship struggles.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is structured, practical, and focused on building skills to manage present-day problems. Through guided strategies and between-session practice, clients learn tools that are effective for anxiety, insomnia, eating concerns, and other challenges.

  • Strength-Based Therapy: I believe in helping clients recognize and build on their strengths. This positive, empowering approach supports resilience, personal growth, and a more hopeful outlook on life.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Grounded in attachment theory and the science of emotions, EFT helps individuals, couples, and families transform negative cycles into secure, connected, and healthier relationships with themselves and others.

  • Couples Counseling (The Gottman Method): For couples, I use the Gottman Method, which emphasizes strengthening friendship, improving communication, managing conflict, and repairing relationship ruptures. This approach is especially useful for couples experiencing chronic conflict, emotional distance, infidelity, or struggles with parenting, finances, or intimacy.

By blending these approaches, I tailor therapy to each client’s personal goals, creating a supportive, collaborative space for healing and growth.
