Life can feel like a lot to handle, especially when navigating relationship shifts. Whether it's the emotional toll of divorce, the strain of separation, the heartbreak of infidelity, or the complexities of parenting and communication, it’s easy to feel stuck or overwhelmed. The weight of external pressures often makes it hard to prioritize your emotional health. As a therapist, I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through these challenging moments, helping you find lasting and meaningful change. My practice is neurodiverse-affirmative, fostering a space of warmth, acceptance, and curiosity.
Together, we’ll explore your feelings in a nonjudgmental and compassionate environment. I’ll help you improve communication, reduce conflict, and manage parenting challenges. My approach is rooted in evidence-based methods, including the Gottman Method, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Integrative Sex Therapy for Couples.
These tools are designed to support you as you work through life’s tough moments—in all areas of life. There’s a space here where you can freely express yourself and begin the journey toward healing and growth. Take the first step—reach out today, and start embracing self-compassion while nurturing your emotional well-being.
