About My Clients
I specialize in relationship issues. I practice Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and I am the founder of the Fort Collins EFT Community. With over 160 cumulative hours of direct training in EFT and over 100 hours of mentorship from the best-of-the-best supervisors in the model, I love this method. EFT is the most evidence-based couples therapy method, with 90% of couples improving their relationships. You will learn how to communicate authentically and break out of patterns.
My Background and Approach
In couples therapy and marriage counseling, I meld principles of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), the two most evidence-based couples therapy methods around. For individuals and families, I use experiential, mindfulness, solution-focused, and strengths-based techniques as well as those from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to work with relationship issues and move past people-pleasing tendencies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My mission in life is to help alleviate suffering and disconnection as well as create more safety, joy, and love in this world. To me, there is something magical about sharing in others’ worlds, connecting to a sense of common humanity that we all share. I feel so grateful to be able to do this every day. In my free time, I love spending time with those close to me, being outside, being active, learning new things, and sometimes being very lazy. I do a lot of camping, biking, jogging, hiking, white water rafting, and shaking it out to live music. There are often headphones in my ears because I adore audiobooks! I listen to all things psychology (especially mindfulness and relationships). And then with other free time, don’t we all enjoy watching a little Netflix?!
