Do you find yourself feeling anxious in relationships—worrying about being too much, not enough, or feeling disconnected from others?

I help couples overcome conflict to create strong and harmonious relationships. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples quiet the conflict in their relationship. What were once heart-breaking conversations the couple did not know how to fix, turn into dialogue around making the relationship better, repairing old hurts, and deepening emotional connection. Whether the conflict stems from poor communication and emotional distance, to trauma, affairs, infertility, or substance use problems, the evidence based treatments can help couples communicate openly and find solutions, or decide it is time to move on.

Are you ready to feel more grounded, respond rather than react, and build a sense of safety and self-compassion? Trauma and anxiety can quietly shape how you see yourself and the world around you. You may be thoughtful and capable, yet feel on edge, disconnected from others, or emotionally drained. Past experiences can show up in your body, your relationships, or your ability to feel calm and present. You might feel frustrated by these patterns or unsure how to move forward, but something in you is ready for change. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing.

Sometimes it can be challenging to speak up. This could be because of societal roles and expectations, relationship and/or workplace dynamics, or the experience of being an introvert in an extravert's world.

I am here to listen, share strategies and ideas, and give gentle suggestions. I hope to support you as you make decisions about any changes that you would like to make in how you respond in stressful situations like conflict, workplace stress, and relationship breakdown.
