I work with couples navigating blended family stress, co-parenting challenges, custody dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the emotional strain that can come with rebuilding trust and stability. Some couples are trying to repair and reconnect, while others feel stuck in repeating conflict, resentment, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Using EFT, Gottman-informed approaches, and trauma-informed somatic therapy, I help partners slow reactive cycles, improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and better understand the deeper patterns influencing their relationship and family system.

The decision to pursue counseling is an extremely important and personal one. And, finding the right therapist is a crucial part of the process. I have been practicing in the field over 25 years and have worked in a variety of settings with adults and adolescents. In addition to having extensive experience in helping those who have suffered grief and loss, I am particularly skilled at working with highly sensitive individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, developmental issues, and identifying, understanding, and changing repetitive patterns that do not serve them.
