Zoe is skilled in and holds special certifications in the following areas:
Couples Counseling
Zoe is highly trained in couples counseling and uses the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen their connection through finding meaningful commonalities, healthy differentiation, and resiliency through trust and communication.
Trauma Informed
Zoe provides trauma-informed care utilizing several therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs while prioritizing emotional safety and resilience.
ACT therapy
Zoe is an ACT therapist (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy). ACT helps individuals become less “stuck” in distressing thoughts and emotions so they can move toward what matters most—even during difficult seasons of life. Rather than focusing on eliminating uncomfortable feelings, ACT builds psychological flexibility: the ability to respond intentionally and effectively instead of reacting automatically.
ACT can be helpful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, chronic pain and illness, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and life transitions/identity concerns.
CBT therapy
Zoe is also a CBT trained therapist. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) teaches you practical skills to understand and change the patterns that keep you stuck—especially the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She will teach you how to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, how to challenge and reframe thoughts, how to regulate emotions and how to change behaviors that maintain symptoms. CBT is a structured and goal-focused modality, with practice between sessions so you see changes in real life.
Beyond her work, Zoe values spending time with her husband, friends, family, and dog. She feels recharged and empowered by being physically active, spending time in nature, and hosting game nights. Zoe’s community describes her as genuine, open-minded, funny, athletic, supportive, and loyal.
