PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

My methods

Interpersonal therapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on relieving symptoms by improving interpersonal functioning. A central idea in IPT is that psychological symptoms can be understood as a response to current difficulties in everyday relationships with other people.

Gottman Couples Therapy Principles

Gottman Method couples therapy is a scientifically-backed, integrative approach to therapy that helps partners improve their connection by enriching friendship, bolstering tools for effective conflict management, and creating shared meaning in their life together.

Exposure Response Prevention

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that was developed specifically to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but may also be used for general anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns. These strategies might include:

Learning to recognize one’s distortions in thinking that are creating problems, and then to reevaluate them in light of reality.
Gaining a better understanding of the behavior and motivation of others.
Using problem-solving skills to cope with difficult situations.
Learning to develop a greater sense of confidence in one’s own abilities.

Individual therapy

Individual psychotherapy helps you to learn about yourself. We work through behavioral, communicational, thought and relational patterns.

Everyone is welcome in my office. It's a supportive space where you're free to be yourself to gain clarity about your life & relationships.

Couples counseling

Relationship therapy helps people to communicate their feelings and needs to each other without fear of being criticized or attacked.

I use the Gottman principles but also customize the approach based upon the needs of the couple.

Family counseling

Family counseling aims to address psychological, behavioral, and emotional issues that cause family problems. We work on communication, problem solving, sharing responsibilities and other issues as necessary for the family to support each other.
