Great to meet you!

If your love life has gotten complicated, and you want help, let's get to work -- and clean up your communication, starting right now. As a solution-focused therapist, I offer effective strategies for change, not just coping skills.

I am passionate about working with people on their relationship challenges--while encouraging healthier communication habits. The words you use matter, as does your tone, body language, and so much more.

My approach to therapy

I am committed to helping people navigate the complexities of their relationships as well as everyday stressors - with empathy, insight & effective strategies for change. For couples, I emphasize enhancing communication, cultivating empathy & reigniting intimacy. For individuals, I focus on fostering self-awareness, healing the past & building more fulfilling future relationships. By partnering with my clients on their journeys, I aim to help them have the connection & satisfaction they crave.

What you can expect from me

My directive, non-nonsense style of therapy sheds light on patterns & conditioning which are outdated so freer ways of being can emerge, at last. I work with adults & couples who are struggling with relationships - whether that be in marriage, separation, divorce, dating, finding a partner, or losing a partner. I also work with individuals who are challenged by life transitions & everyday stress. During our sessions, we will pinpoint your most pressing challenges & create customized solutions. As a former attorney with 14 years of experience handling complex legal matters, I know firsthand what it is like to tackle difficult issues and challenging issues head on from multiple angles, and I feel that this only enriches my ability to be an effective therapist today.
