Treatment Approach
Grounded, relational, and intentionally integrated care.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My work integrates evidence-based approaches with relational depth and nervous-system awareness to create thoughtful, personalized care. Rather than relying on a single method, I center the therapeutic process on collaboration, emotional safety, and meaningful change — adapting each approach to meet the unique needs of the individual or relationship in front of me.
An Integrated, Relational Approach
I center my work on helping clients create clarity, connection, and sustainable growth. This means blending structured therapeutic tools with relational insight and body-based awareness — so change is not only intellectual, but embodied and lasting.​​
​
Whether I am working with midlife women or couples, my approach is grounded in emotional safety, thoughtful pacing, and intentional care. Therapy becomes a collaborative process where insight, skill-building, and nervous system regulation work together to support real-life change.
Collaborative and
Client-Centered Care
Therapy works best when it is a partnership. I approach each client relationship with respect, curiosity, and collaboration. Together, we identify goals, explore patterns, and co-create a path forward that aligns with your values and lived experience.
​
You are the expert on your life. My role is to offer structure, insight, and professional guidance while honoring your autonomy, voice, and personal agency throughout the process.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
for Midlife Women
Navigating midlife can feel like a series of transitions—hormonal shifts, evolving relationships, career changes, and identity redefinition. These changes can bring stress, anxiety, mood fluctuations, and sleep disturbances. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or out of balance at times.
​
Through CBT, I work with you to identify and shift thought patterns and behaviors that may be keeping you feeling stuck. This evidence-based approach supports emotional balance and helps you cultivate clarity, resilience, and self-understanding—empowering you to navigate midlife transitions with confidence and purpose.
​​
Together, we craft personalized strategies that honor your journey and support meaningful growth through this pivotal stage of life.​​
Somatic-Informed, Nervous-System-Aware Integration
Many emotional patterns live not only in our thoughts, but in the body. I incorporate somatic-informed and nervous-system-aware principles to help clients better understand stress responses, emotional regulation, and relational reactivity.
​
This may include building awareness of bodily cues, learning grounding strategies, and supporting regulation during emotionally charged conversations or life transitions. The goal is to help change feel safer, more integrated, and more sustainable — not overwhelming or rushed.
Gottman Method
Couples Therapy
Healthy relationships are built, not stumbled into. Life brings stress, transitions, and inevitable conflict — and how you navigate these moments together often determines the strength and longevity of your partnership.
​
Using the Gottman Method, a research-based approach developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, I help couples strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and build a relationship rooted in mutual respect, trust, and understanding.
​
Rather than simply managing conflict, our work focuses on creating deeper friendship, emotional safety, and intimacy. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, soften reactivity, and develop practical tools that support healthier conversations and more meaningful connection.
​
Whether you are feeling disconnected, navigating ongoing tension, or wanting to strengthen an already solid relationship, this approach offers a structured, supportive path toward lasting relational growth.
