Create a safe and supportive space to heal and grow together with an experienced therapist

Feeling unheard and disconnected in your marriage? Do you and your partner get defensive or shut down when trying to talk about your relationship? You're not alone.

Imagine a relationship where you feel safe to be yourself, where your voice is valued, and where you and your spouse can truly connect. Imagine the relief of finally feeling understood and appreciated.

I believe that relationships are a journey, and sometimes we need a guide. In my practice, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore the complexities of their connection. I take an integrative approach, understanding that each individual brings their own unique history, experiences, and influences to the relationship. We'll explore your individual stories, cultural backgrounds, and the influence of biological factors that might be impacting your dynamic. Using evidence-based methods like DBT (certified), Nonviolent Communication, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapy (certified), and NLP (certified), I'll help you and your partner develop the skills to communicate more effectively, understand each other on a deeper level, and create a more loving and fulfilling relationship.

With over two decades of experience, I empower couples to create the fulfilling relationships they desire. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families facing diverse challenges, including infidelity, separation/divorce, and mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and dissociation. I guide couples in developing the skills they need to foster connection, understanding, and mutual respect, while also honoring each partner's individual authenticity and autonomy (the ability to be true to themselves and make their own choices).
