Specializations
Couples Therapy
With couples, my client is the relationship, and I work to improve its health with empathy, insight, and evidence-based strategies. Regardless of the communication breakdown’s cause, you probably feel alone at times - unappreciated, misunderstood, or unseen. We need our partners to have our back, to let us know that we are safe and secure with them. My goal is to help you and your partner become a stronger, more understanding, loving and connected team.
Neurodiversity in Relationships
For couples and individuals where neurodivergence (such as ADHD, aspergers/autism, or bipolar disorder) is present, I help uncover the strengths in these unique ways of thinking while helping your relationship team up and support the challengee. By shifting the focus from differences to opportunities for connection, my approach fosters mutual understanding and collaboration in relationships.
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT)
RO-DBT is a groundbreaking treatment for individuals who tend towards over-control (OC). Being OC often helps folks excel in high-functioning professions, but can also come with perfectionism, social anxiety, chronic depression, and anorexia. RO-DBT focuses on openness and flexibility, helping clients foster deeper connections and more fulfilling relationships. While RO-DBT is designed for individuals, its skills-based approach aligns naturally with my work in couples therapy, and even more so when neurodivergence is a factor.
