Couples Therapy
Since entering the mental health field I have discovered my passion in working with couples. My practice is enriched by training in Gottman Method couples therapy, which I use in my therapeutic approach. I specialize in an array of critical areas that include communication issues, pregnancy and infant loss, working on intimacy related issues, and fostering trust between partners.

 

Neurodivergence 
I have experience managing a residential treatment facility where I’ve cultivated a wealth of expertise in assisting individuals across the autism spectrum.  My approach draws from a versatile toolkit of therapeutic modalities, encompassing cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, somatic experiencing, and emotional regulation. I also have experience and am extremely passionate about working with folks who suffer from ADHD. I create structured sessions that allow me to work WITH symptoms, instead of against them. Guided by a strengths-based philosophy, I am dedicated to helping my clients harness their innate capabilities and navigate their journeys with resilience and self-assurance.

 

Supporting the Male Identifying Population
I create a safe space where men are encouraged to pursue mental health services with a sense of ease and assurance. My offerings encompass a wide spectrum, addressing concerns ranging from relationship dynamics and workplace stress to honing emotional communication skills. My approach is rooted in a profound understanding of the distinct journey of male-identifying clients, recognizing the nuanced challenges they encounter in their day-to-day lives. By tailoring my support to these specific experiences, I strive to create a therapeutic environment that resonates deeply and facilitates meaningful growth.
