Bilingual- Lithuanian & English
Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training Level 2 | Completing December 2026

I specialize in supporting children, teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, ADHD and executive functioning challenges, depression, self-doubt, relationship concerns, communication difficulties, and life transitions. I help clients better understand their emotions, build confidence, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and feel more supported as they navigate challenges in their relationships, school, work, family life, and personal growth.

​

With children and teens, I focus on creating a supportive environment where they can express themselves, better understand their emotions, and develop skills to navigate everyday challenges. Therapy may address managing big emotions, anxiety, school stress, friendships, self-esteem, family changes, ADHD, executive functioning, and adjusting to growing independence. I incorporate developmentally appropriate approaches to help younger clients build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping skills.

​

With adults, I provide support for anxiety, stress, relationships, boundaries, self-confidence, changing family dynamics, work-life balance, and feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities. Our work may involve identifying unhelpful patterns, understanding emotional responses, improving communication, developing healthier boundaries, and building practical strategies to manage challenges in daily life.

​

With couples, I provide a collaborative space to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and better understand one another. My Level 2 training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy informs my work with couples navigating recurring disagreements, communication difficulties, rebuilding trust, emotional disconnection, and significant relationship changes. Together, we explore relationship patterns, develop healthier ways of managing conflict, strengthen emotional intimacy, and work toward building a stronger foundation for the relationship.

I also support clients through life transitions and periods of adjustment. These may include starting or changing schools, entering adolescence, graduating, beginning college, starting a new job or career, moving, changes in friendships or relationships, marriage or divorce, family changes, becoming a parent, returning to work, or navigating a new stage of adulthood. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process these changes while developing practical strategies for managing the emotions and uncertainty that can come with them.

​

My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and individualized to each client. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and relationship-focused interventions informed by the Gottman Method. These approaches help clients better understand connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping strategies, strengthen communication, and work toward meaningful goals.

​

For clients and families who would like their personal faith incorporated into therapy, I also offer faith-based interventions upon request. The role of faith in therapy is guided by each client's individual beliefs, values, preferences, and comfort level.

​

My approach is warm, validating, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create an environment where children, teens, adults, and couples feel comfortable expressing themselves openly and exploring difficult emotions and experiences without judgment. Together, we work toward greater emotional regulation, self-awareness, confidence, healthier communication, stronger relationships, and coping skills that support meaningful and lasting growth.
