Sometimes our stress and worries can affect the way we interact in the world and can take a toll on the mind, body, and impact relationships. I specialize in helping couples experiencing relationship distress to move from disconnection to reconnection. When clients are interested in self-awareness and willing to explore beneath the surface of day-to-day living, they open up new ways to better connect within themselves and within their relationships. Whether you want to improve balance of your mental health or restore relationships - having a nonjudgmental and supportive safe space can open the door to potential change and growth.
With a background in Marriage and Family Therapy, I help couples to identify relational patterns, renew connection, improve communication, manage conflict, express needs, repair emotional distance, and dissolve misunderstandings. As a trauma-informed and attachment-based clinician, I also help couples to process complex and impactful experiences.
Witnessing the courage and commitment of my clients is a privilege, and I take great care in getting to know you and what brings you in. I'm happy to answer any questions and can offer a 15-minute phone consultation!

I work with couples to help them gain greater clarity and understanding of themselves and their partners. During our first few sessions, we explore the issues at hand, get to know your history, and build a relationship that will lay the groundwork for the plan we create together. I also take the time to get to know you individually by setting up a one-time meeting with each of you separately.
