Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I enjoy and specialize in couples therapy and relationship-focused work with adults. I help partners break cycles of miscommunication, emotional reactivity, and disconnection so they can build more secure, intentional, and fulfilling relationships. I work with individuals who want to better understand their interpersonal relationship patterns, build self esteem, manage stress and anger, and navigate life transitions with clarity and confidence. We'll explore who you are and how you got here as well as how we can get to where you want to go. My goal is to help you create meaningful, lasting change both individually and within your relationships.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a person centered approach to engage with you and meet you where you are. I like to use a combination of modalities and evidenced based therapies throughout the session. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, while also gently challenging clients to move beyond old patterns that no longer serve them. For couples therapy, I use an integrated approach, combining a systemic relational approach, elements of Gottman Method, attachment-based therapy, elements of emotion-focused interventions and other therapies. My work emphasizes improving communication, building trust, increasing emotional awareness, and helping couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck. Therapy with me is collaborative, insight-oriented, and practical you’ll leave sessions with both understanding and concrete tools you can use in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session after your intake, we’ll get to know each other, explore your relationship or individual goals, and identify the challenges you’re facing. I’ll ask questions to understand patterns, communication styles, and emotional triggers. Together, we’ll discuss strategies to start addressing issues right away. You’ll leave with a safe space to be heard, and actionable steps to begin making progress. After booking your initial intake, send a message to let me know whether you are looking to start individual or couples therapy with me.
