Over the last 5 years, I have honed my work as a therapist, specializing in my work with couples. Working with an attachment framework, I love supporting couple’s as they navigate tricky communication patterns. Together I support couples going from working against one another to working with each other against the problem. In addition, I also specialize in working with clients who experience anxiety, are going through a life transition or have past traumatic experiences that leave them repeating negative emotional patterns.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Family Development from San Diego State University in addition to my Masters Degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. From there, I have continued education and training in the therapy models listed below.
I’ve seen incredible success stories with my clients using a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. These two models use emotion in real time to support clients as they increase awareness of underlying emotions and practice communicating more effectively both in relationships and with themselves.
When I’m not supporting clients, you can often find me outside. I find nature especially grounding and comforting. I love bike rides, fishing, watching sporting events and playing games with my family and friends.
