About

I work with couples with compassion, providing them with a safe and supportive space to address and process their challenges, focus on their strengths, and learn new skills that could empower them to manage future triggers. I believe that it is the first and most important step to learn to listen and understand each other. I use evidence-based modalities like Gottman's Method, CBT, and DBT to support clients with achieving their goals. I have been working with high-conflict families and couples, providing them with tools and skills for validation, communication, problem-solving and conflict resolution. Couples work may also include anger management, emotion regulation, assertiveness training, trauma work, and addiction / individual interventions based on the underlying factors. I am a certified provider of Gottman's Method and Triple P Program, which is a positive parenting program that helps to address challenges that couples experience in connection with parenting or co-parenting.
