Many new clients feel overwhelmed at the start of therapy. I understand this, and I strive to create an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. I firmly believe that a safe therapeutic relationship is the foundation of effective psychotherapy. I actively collaborate with clients to create an agreed upon map for this journey. As a psychologist, I see myself as an expert guide — one who helps clients become more aware of the landscape within themselves and between themselves and others. I believe that with awareness and clarity, clients are better able to travel out of suffering and into satisfaction. All journeys are informed by my extensive clinical experience and training. I use Gestalt Therapy when I work with individuals and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT-C) when I work with couples. These therapeutic approaches are grounded in theory, and supported by research. I specialize in working with adult women (particularly issues related to reproduction), chronic pain and/or illness, and couples. Many of the clients I work with have not found relief with other therapy styles, want to make deep and lasting changes, and/or are experiencing significant levels of distress.
