Clinical & Relational Approach
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over four decades of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My work is grounded in evidence-based, research-informed approaches, with particular emphasis on the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, trauma-informed care, and substance use treatment.
I practice from a relational and attachment-focused framework, helping clients understand patterns of interaction, emotional regulation, and the ways earlier experiences influence present-day relationships. Therapy is collaborative, structured, and thoughtfully paced, with attention to safety, accountability, and emotional connection. I hold a strong belief in the capacity for repair and growth, even in relationships that feel stuck, strained, or impacted by significant rupture.
