The belief that CONNECTION in relationships is what makes life rich and satisfying drives my therapeutic approach.
How I Work:
It takes courage and vulnerability to share your relationship story. I am committed to providing a compassionate, direct and intentional approach to promote change for the better in your relationship.
I’ll help you understand how dysfunctional patterns negatively impact your communication and interaction, and teach the skills you need to change the dynamic that keeps you stuck.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work systematically with evidence-based modalities to help couples connect authentically.
Relationship Therapy
Couples therapy requires special training and experience
In my work as a therapist for the past 7 years, I am privileged to partner alongside individuals, families, and couples as they bravely face difficulties. My approach to couples work enhances interpersonal connections through evidence-based strategies and techniques gained from clinical experience and personal study. I am committed to bringing the most clinically sound and up to date practice wisdom to clients.
I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Alabama with advanced licensure by the State of Alabama since 1996. I am a trained practitioner of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have completed levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training. I hold advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. I incorporate a relational, psychodynamic approach with practical skills and tools.
If Relationships are Unhappy,
We Are Less Healthy Overall
Your physical and emotional health are significantly impacted by a conflictual romantic relationship. A constant state of “fight or flight” raises stress hormones, increases inflammation in the body, weakens the immune system, and increases cardiovascular risks. It exacerbates depression and anxiety, can cause insomnia, and generally worsens one’s overall quality of life.
A successful relationship requires intentional effort. The time, effort, and money you spend in therapy to ensure a better connection with your partner will prove an invaluable investment in your future happiness.
“The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.”
