My Approach

I help individuals, couples, and families understand the emotional and relational patterns shaping their lives. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in deep respect for your context — the histories you carry, the stresses you’re navigating, and the hopes you have for yourself and your relationships. I offer a validating, nonjudgmental space while balancing steady support with gentle challenge, at your pace, so growth feels both safe and meaningful.

Couples Therapy

I specialize in helping partners who feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected, or unsure how to repair after moments of hurt. I’ve completed the foundational Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) Externship and am continuing advanced training toward certification.

My work with couples focuses on slowing things down, understanding the emotions and protective patterns playing out between you, and creating room for new, emotionally connecting moments in session. These experiences can shift long-standing patterns and help you reach each other with more security and openness. Couples often tell me they leave sessions feeling clearer, more understood, and more capable of reconnecting in ways that once felt out of reach.

Individual Therapy

I support individuals navigating relationship stress, anxiety, identity concerns, grief, major life transitions, and patterns that feel hard to shift alone. My approach is relational and psychodynamic in a very down-to-earth way: I’m engaged, curious, and attuned to what’s happening in the moment. Many clients find that our work together helps them understand themselves more deeply, imagine possibilities they couldn’t see before, and feel more grounded and connected in their everyday lives.

Family Therapy

With families, I help clarify dynamics, ease tension, and support healthier communication. I pay close attention to each person’s experience and help the family slow down enough to hear one another differently. My goal is to create a safe, validating environment where real change and connection can happen.

What It’s Like to Work Together

Above all, I care about building a strong, trusting alliance — one where you feel seen, safe, and genuinely understood. I bring a steady presence, room for lightness when appropriate, and a thoughtful, intentional plan for our work. Together, we’ll make sense of what’s weighing on you, ease the moments that feel too heavy to carry alone, and create space for new ways of relating to yourself and the people you love.
