Increase Connection. Live in Joy.
Attuned Private Couple Retreats, EFT Couple and Individual Therapy Practice
I have honed my counseling skills for over 20 years working with individuals and couples. What distinguishes me as a counselor is my excitement for teaching tangible skills, my capacity for attuned listening and my passion for supporting lasting change. I study dynamics and patterns in relationships and am trained in attachment modalities including: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Focused EMDR and Somatic Therapy. My first 14 years of work was in community mental health and hospital settings where I taught skills to navigate crisis experiences. Practical skills, solution focused handouts and efficiency underpins all my work.
I specialize in couple retreats that are short and direct. These two hour retreats are a way to find a deeper understanding of your communication patterns and interactions leading to disconnection with the express goal of finding your way back to healthy and restored patterns of love and joy. We will utilize attachment based thinking and body based somatic techniques to support new relational patterns to build on after the retreat.

On a more personal note, I currently live in Portland, Oregon with my husband, and two loving and adoring standard poodles, George and Maple. I enjoy gardening, walking in the woods or curling up on the couch reading a good book. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for a free informational call to answer any questions you may have.
