Therapy for Real Life, Real Relationships, and Real Change

I offer a warm, grounded space where you can slow down, feel understood, and work toward meaningful change. Therapy with me is collaborative and relational — focused on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move through life and relationship challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. For couples who feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotionally distant, or impacted by betrayal, I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help repair trust, improve communication, and rebuild emotional connection.

My approach to therapy

My style is compassionate, direct, and supportive. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Gottman Method Couples Therapy, CBT, DBT, attachment-based therapy, family systems, narrative, grief and solution-focused work. Sessions are tailored to your goals, your pace, and what feels most helpful for you.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive conversation focused on what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. We’ll talk through your current concerns, begin identifying goals, and move at a pace that feels comfortable for you — there’s no pressure to share everything at once.

Sessions are provided via secure telehealth, allowing you to attend from a space that feels safe and convenient. By the end of our first appointment, many clients leave with greater clarity about next steps and a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
