Most couples indicate that they would like to work on communication. I use a couple-specific approach  that blends the modalities of Gottman and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Together, we examine the repeating pattern of conflict and explore the meaning of the conflict cycle as well as provide tools to alter unhealthy, but familiar, patterns. 

One of my favorite populations is young women enrolled in college, navigating independence from their parents and a still-developing sense of self (i.e., values,  interests, boundares). Within this population, I am competent in addressing Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, and OCD. 

OCD is my specialty. I use both ERP and I-CBT (inference-based CBT) to treat OCD. I having received a certificate in pediatric OCD from the International OCD Foundation and participate in an OCD consult group.

Do you find yourself in the same conflict cycle with your adult child or other family member? I enjoy working with families to resolve issues and improve communication.
