About me
Psychologist who specializes in working with couples and women's mental health (pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss).
As a seasoned Couples Therapist, I am deeply committed to helping couples navigate the complexities of relationships and achieve greater understanding and harmony. With a wealth of experience and specialized training in couples counseling, I guide partners towards cultivating healthier connections and resolving conflicts constructively.
My approach centers on creating a safe and inclusive space where both partners can openly express their thoughts and emotions. By employing evidence-based techniques such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, and communication-enhancing strategies, I empower couples to rebuild trust, improve communication, and rekindle intimacy.
I believe that every relationship is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic interventions to the specific needs and dynamics of each couple. By focusing on identifying patterns, enhancing emotional attunement, and fostering empathy, I aim to facilitate sustainable positive change and facilitate lasting improvements in the relationship.
With a passion for promoting healthy and fulfilling relationships, I remain dedicated to ongoing education and staying abreast of the latest research and advancements in couples therapy. My ultimate goal is to guide couples towards a deeper connection and mutual growth, empowering them to build a resilient and loving partnership.
