Great to meet you!

Great to meet you!

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of experience, certified in EMDR and trained in the Gottman Method. I work with couples navigating relationship strain, first responders carrying the weight of their work, and new and expecting parents facing the identity shifts of the perinatal period. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or like you're the only one who really understands what you've been through, I'd like to help.

My approach blends structured, evidence-based tools with a genuinely warm, human presence. With couples, I draw on the Gottman Method to help partners rebuild communication and trust. With trauma — including the kind that comes from years of high-stakes work — I use EMDR to help process what talk therapy alone often can't reach. And for parents in the perinatal window, I bring both clinical training and a real understanding of how disorienting that season can be.

A quick note on insurance: because most plans require an individual diagnosis and don't cover relationship-focused treatment, couples therapy is offered as private pay. This keeps our work focused on the relationship itself, rather than needing to frame either partner's experience as a diagnosable condition.

I'm not just here to hand you insight — I want you to leave sessions with real tools you can use. If you're looking for a therapist who walks with you, not ahead of you, I'd be honored to work together.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe healing happens in a space where you feel truly seen and supported, and I work to create that space with each client. I tailor sessions to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches like EMDR, mindfulness, and attachment-focused therapy.

I take a holistic view of mental health—honoring the connection between mind, body, relationships, and environment—and help clients build insight, resilience, and practical tools to move forward, whether they're working through trauma, anxiety, or the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.

You don't need to have it all figured out to begin—just a willingness to show up. We'll take it from there, together.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and more connected to themselves. Whether we’re working through trauma, managing stress, or navigating life transitions, I’ll help you build practical tools for coping, deepen your self-awareness, and uncover the strengths you already carry.

My goal is for you to feel more empowered after each session—not just with insight, but with real strategies to help you move forward. Therapy with me is a collaborative space where we explore what’s meaningful, process what’s painful, and make room for healing and growth at your own pace.
