Windsor, CA
ABOUT
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist that has undergone additional specialized training in couples therapy since 2012. My specialized training with couples was subsequent to earning a masters degree in counseling psychology in 2009, and subsequent to providing 3000 hours of supervised therapy in a clinical setting to gain my licensure as a psychotherapist in CA.
My specialized couples training is called The Bader-Pearson Developmental Couples Therapy Model. It is this model that I rely on most heavily as the map for positive change when working with couples. I also have working knowledge of most state-of-the-art couples therapies available today, including: Gottman, PACT, EFT, Imago, and RLT.
My clients in couple’s therapy describe me as warm, engaging, directive and interactive. While therapy can bring-up difficult feelings and issues, it is also not unusual to hear laughter in my couple’s session, too.
I enjoy working with couples that are serious about taking ownership of their part and who are committed to making positive change. It is truly a great honor and privilege to work with couples that are committed to doing what it takes to develop a thriving relationship.
