Emotionally Focused

From my training as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, I am experienced in helping couples and individuals foster emotional connection and healing. I specialize in identifying and addressing negative interaction patterns, helping clients express vulnerable emotions, and promoting secure emotional bonds. By utilizing EFT techniques, I support clients in creating lasting, positive changes in their relationships, cultivating intimacy, trust, and emotional resilience.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I help individuals identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral challenges. I guide clients in developing healthier, more constructive thinking and coping strategies. Through practical techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation, I help clients improve their mental well-being, increase resilience, and achieve lasting change in their lives.

Narrative 

Narrative therapy helps develop deep understanding of how personal stories shape identity and actions. I help clients explore their narratives, uncovering patterns and meanings that influence their experiences. By guiding clients to reframe their stories, I empower them to adopt new perspectives, fostering resilience and growth. This approach allows individuals and couples to challenge limiting beliefs, create alternative narratives, and build more fulfilling, empowered lives and relationships.

Gottman Method

With Gottman Method, we focus on enhancing communication, managing conflict, and building trust within relationships. I help couples strengthen their emotional connection by applying tools like the Four Horsemen antidotes and the Sound Relationship House theory. Through structured interventions, I guide couples to improve their interactions, deepen intimacy, and create a strong, lasting partnership based on mutual respect and understanding.

Anxiety

I address anxiety by helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Through Narrative Therapy, we explore the client's story, reframe their perceptions, and empower them to create new narratives around their anxiety. Psychodynamic interventions allow us to understand underlying unconscious factors and past experiences contributing to anxiety, fostering insight and emotional processing for lasting change.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples identify and express vulnerable emotions, fostering emotional intimacy and secure attachment. We work on breaking negative cycles of interaction and creating a safe emotional environment. I also utilize Gottman techniques, I teach couples skills for managing conflict, improving communication, and enhancing emotional connection. Together, these approaches strengthen the relationship by promoting trust, empathy, and deeper emotional bonds

Depression

I approach this a few ways.I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Through Narrative Therapy, we explore and reframe the client's personal narrative, empowering them to create a more positive self-story. Psychodynamic interventions help uncover unconscious conflicts and past experiences that may be influencing current emotional states, fostering insight and emotional healing
