About me
I help adults and couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck, manage anxiety and relationship challenges, and make meaningful changes in their lives. My approach combines insight with practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Maybe you find yourself overthinking conversations, worrying about how others see you, struggling to set boundaries, or repeating the same patterns in relationships. Perhaps you and your partner keep having the same argument without ever really resolving it. Or maybe you simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.
I bring 15+ years of experience working with individuals and couples who want more than a place to talk, recognize the patterns shaping their lives, and develop practical tools to help them move forward.
For couples, therapy may involve understanding the patterns underneath recurring conflict, strengthening communication, rebuilding emotional connection, navigating infidelity or other breaches of trust, addressing intimacy concerns, co-parenting, or making important decisions about the future of the relationship.
My approach is warm, collaborative, direct, and nonjudgmental. I integrate psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-informed approaches based on each client's needs.
You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We explore where you've been, where you are now, and determine where you'd like to go next.
If you're ready to move toward a life that feels more aligned, I look forward to meeting you.
