You want to feel heard and connected in your relationship yet conflict, miscommunication, and daily stress has left you feeling distant from your partner and parts of yourself too. You long to return to a time where the relationship felt secure, warm, and fun. Healthy relationships don't just happen - they're built and nurtured. I’m here to help you create the fulfilling relationship you desire and see lasting change. Instead of rehashing the same arguments, I offer a deeper understanding and evidence-based tools. Using modalities and insights from leading experts, I stay informed of the latest in couples therapy to support you.

I also offer specialized premarital counseling to help couples build a strong foundation for their future. I use Prepare/Enrich and Gottman Method to help you understand each other better, improve your communication, and address key topics like finances, family planning, and sex/intimacy.

As a lesbian therapist, I hold an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals feeling stuck or disconnected. This often looks like anxiety, burnout, low self-confidence, perfectionism or relationship challenges. Together, we will increase self-compassion and healing - reconnecting with yourself and those around you.
