Hi, I’m Ava, a couples and individual therapist. My approach to therapy is to make clients feel comfortable and understood—not judged or analyzed. Whether you’re navigating a rough patch in your relationship or struggling with your own relationship with yourself, I’m here to help you slow down, reflect, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. I specialize in helping people make sense of their relationship patterns and challenges so they can feel more secure and fulfilled in how they connect with others.
I work with clients to process and repair ruptures, manage conflict more effectively, communicate in healthier ways, and ultimately build deeper, more meaningful connections in their relationships.
Whether you're looking to find more connection with a loved one, are dealing with the impact of past or present trauma or are trying to understand why certain situations keep repeating, we will work together to figure out what's going on and what to do about it.

While I'm trained in a variety of practice approaches CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Prolonged Exposure, IFS, Gottman Method for Couples, Relational Life Therapy and am trauma informed, I'm not the kind of therapist who hides behind jargon but will relate to you as a real person. We'll talk, we'll explore, and you'll start to feel more grounded in who you are and how you connect.

I believe therapy should meet you where you're at, whether you're new to the process or have been in therapy for years. If you're still searching for the right fit, feel like something's missing in your current work, or are wanting a fresh approach, I can help you expand on that foundation and bring new insights into your personal or relational growth.
