I specialize in relationships, life transitions and grief/loss, with additional in-depth trainings to work effectively with couples and families. I work frequently with cultural, multigenerational and other systemic conflicts and traumas that can lead to or present as depression/anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, relational conflicts, parenting challenges, career difficulties, etc. Prior to psychotherapy, I had a career with top law firms and investment bank which has helped me deeply appreciate the stress and complexity in the work/life dynamics facing many families, sometimes seemingly as a result of their very own success.
Working with couples/families requires additional skills. I've trained with highly impactful approaches including Hakomi Experiential Couple Therapy (in Prof Level 2), Gottman Method (level 2 certified), RLT/Terry Real (Level 1 certified) and the Developmental Model by Couples Institute. I also use tools from Collaborative Couple Therapy, EFT, DBT and PACT.
In my work with couples and with complex grief, I help clients safely experience emotions, identify distress patterns, challenge assumptions, develop coping skills and recreate meaning and connections. I also work with relationship/phase-of-life transitions, such as young adulthood, becoming parents, parenting adolescents, forming step families, etc.
