licensed marriage and family therapist

We are designed for human connection and yet rarely taught the skills needed to have fulfilling relationships. I work with you to develop core relational skills of empathy, vulnerability and accountability. We will work together to uncover what your emotional and work is, and when you can ask you partner, spouse, friend, coworker, parent or child for change and growth. Sometimes the relationship that needs significant change is the relationship you have with yourself. This work may include fostering positive self concept, developing accountability and addressing painful past trauma that have you feeling stuck. After years of working to understand past hurts, failed marriage and missed connections of my own, I came to this work to learn the secrets of human connection. I am trained in several couples and relational modalities including Relational Life Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment-based therapies. I have special training in Neurodiverse Couples where at least on partner has ADHD or ASD, most commonly. My life experience as an immigrant, adoptee, divorced person, spouse who struggles being right all the time, mother of four young adults, introvert, Orthodox Christian, small business owner, Motto Guzzi fan, hunter, Brazilian, coffee lover, ADHDer and more have informed my work. In this you may find similarity or difference and I share so you know. It's good to know. Please ask questions at a free consultation that you can schedule in the portal below. It takes great bravery to decide to change in any way and for this, I deeply respect you.
