Trauma isn't just something that happened to you — it's something that lives in your body, your relationships, and the way you move through every day. Maybe anxiety keeps you bracing for the next bad thing. Maybe depression has made you feel like the version of you that existed before is gone. Or maybe addiction, a painful relationship, or chronic stress has taken more from you than you ever expected. You don't have to carry this alone.

Do you and your partner keep having the same fight over and over again? Or are you starting to feel more like roommates than lovers? If so, you’re not alone. Often the more one partner pushes, the more the other pulls away—and before long, you’re both stuck in a cycle of conflict and disconnection. The good news is, this is something we can actually work through. There is a clear, proven path back to one another—one that can help you feel close again and communicate in ways that actually work. I’ll help you understand what’s happening underneath these patterns so you can reconnect and feel close again.

It takes courage to share your story, and to accept help from someone. In counseling, I believe that everyone has the ability to face difficult situations, overcome challenges and learn new skills. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that mental and emotional well-being are integral to overall health, and that therapy can be a powerful tool for achieving this balance. I take a holistic, attachment-based and trauma-informed approach to treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, marital and family conflict, teens, and parenting challenges.

Perhaps you or a loved one are experiencing deep grief, longing, disconnection, stress, anxiety, isolation or a sense of being misunderstood by others...or even yourself. Relationships, life transitions, the tragic death of those we love as well as other life experiences often lead us to a degree of feeling as though we have lost our footing. In these moments, we can feel lost and unable to find the support and clarity we need to find stability. This impacts our relationships with ourselves, our sense of belonging with others as well as our ability to feel connected, present and authentic in our daily lives.

I believe that healing often begins in the moments where we feel most seen, most heard, and least alone. My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that every person carries a story that deserves to be met with care, curiosity, and compassion rather than judgment. I strive to create a space that feels genuine, steady, and human. A place where you do not have to have everything figured out to begin, and where you are free to show up exactly as you are. I value authenticity in the therapy room and work to build a relationship where you feel safe enough to explore what has been heavy, confusing, or difficult to put into words.
