People reach out at every stage of their process - some are looking for a complete shift, while others simply need a way to make sense of where they are right now. My practice supports individuals, couples, families, and those in CNM dynamics as they navigate the complexities of human relationships. My role is to meet you where you are, providing the insight and active tools to uncover unconscious patterns and address the conscious ones that influence how you move through the world.
I specialize in relationships, whether you choose to do this work on your own or with others. Together, we look past the surface-level friction to address the deeper attachment patterns and systemic threads that drive your connections. The goal isn't "perfect" dynamics; it’s functional, resilient, authentic ones.
I’m here to meet you exactly where you are today. If you feel ready to look at your life and your connections with greater insight and self-compassion, I would be glad to walk through that process with you. When you’re ready to see if we’re a good fit, please feel free to reach out through my website for a consultation.

Together we will look at relationships: This therapy is the process of connecting self with self thereby connecting self with others. Examining, understanding and implementing boundaries while simultaneously eroding barriers is at the heart of what what we do. Most conclude the first session with a task, a direction and greater hope for the future.

We will start exactly where you are. If you are entering therapy 'up in your head' we will start exactly 'in your head' to determine the benefits and barriers of this space. As we delve deeper, we will come to understand what your feelings are saying to you, how they connect to your thoughts, and when particular feelings get triggered in relationship to people and the world around you.
