*Working together towards meaningful change.* Therapy begins with careful listening. I offer a warm, respectful space where you can speak openly, at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we explore what may be contributing to your difficulties, recognize your strengths, and identify what you would like to change.My approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence-informed. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance-based approaches, trauma-focused therapies, and relationship therapies, tailoring our work to your needs, preferences, and circumstances.Our sessions may help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and responses; develop ways to manage distress; communicate your needs more clearly; and take steps towards what matters to you. We consider your personal history, relationships, culture, and current circumstances as part of understanding your experience.I recognize that spirituality can include living with purpose, pursuing meaningful goals, and making choices that reflect your values. If faith or spirituality is important to you, we can explore it in ways that respect your beliefs and understanding. Together, we can consider what gives your life meaning, direction, and connection, guided by your wishes and priorities.In couples therapy, I help partners understand recurring conflicts, express difficult feelings and needs, and work towards greater trust and connection.We set realistic goals together and review your progress, adjusting our approach as needed. My aim is to help you develop understanding and practical skills you can carry into everyday life.
