My focus is on relationship repair for typical or neurodiverse couples, as well as individual work lessening anxiety or depressive symptoms, or even trauma transformation. My expertise includes scientific, research-based approaches of EFCT (Emotional Focused Couples Therapy, as initially trained by Dr Sue Johnson herself), RLT (Relational Life Therapy), and other techniques to guide you back to a satisfying relationship and life you enjoy! My neurodiverse certifications include American Psychology Association approved trainings from the AANE (American Autism Network), ND Partners, and ASDCS (certified autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist), plus over 15 years of working experience and trainings with nationally-known autism and ADHD experts. I also earned AOD (alcohol and other substances) certification in 2006. Having worked both inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment centers, I know how these issues can have a serious impact on your life, and on your relationships.
I help couples reconnect, by giving you tools to repair, find hope, and reignite love…yes even with intimacy
