My practice is a communion of science and faith: the latest evidence-based psychotherapy modalities combined with ancient and medieval philosophy. I rely on the work of Greek and Roman thinkers, as well as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Ignatius of Loyola, and others. If you are willing to put in the work, I will maximize your time to help you become more authentically YOU. No matter what you're going through, there are some things that can always help. Breathing. Grounding work. Positive self-talk. When we meet we would tailor a treatment program to meet your needs. Appointments are available days, evenings, and Saturdays.

Are your important relationships causing you distress? It can feel overwhelming when everything seems to be falling apart. Whether it's your relationship with a parent or a romantic partner, effective communication might seem impossible. You may find yourself expressing anger in ways that are unrecognizable to you, leaving you puzzled and disconnected. It's crucial to acknowledge the impact of your experiences and also to hold yourself accountable for healthier behaviors. Maybe you aren't sure how to put your own needs first.

I empower others to live lives they have always dreamt of; to be their best and most authentic selves. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual in order to cultivate lifelong skills. I endeavor to provide an environment of trust, compassion, and respect during our time together. I respect and honor the innate wisdom of each individual to heal themselves; however, at times we all require some assistance. Increased life satisfaction, improved self-esteem, increased coping skills/stress management, resolution of problematic behavior, and restoration of hope may be some of the results of our work together.

You are not only good enough, you are BETTER than good enough. I know it may not FEEL like it at times. The harsh inner critic, the inability to make (or trust yourself to make) decisions, the putting on a brave face when on the inside you just want to scream. The things that keep you stuck are getting in the way of you living the life you deserve. And deep down, you know it’s time for a change. It’s time to treat yourself the way you treat others, with care and compassion. It’s time to find your way out of the vicious cycles that keep you stuck in overwhelm, self-doubt, overthinking, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.

My work is exclusively as a couples therapist using the most-effective approach, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, or EFT. I believe there's a distinct difference between a marriage-counseling specialist and a therapist who "also" works with couples. This singular focus enables me to bring to my couples work years of experience and a depth of practice helping couples resolve a complexity of challenges, including infidelity, sexual disconnection, endless arguing and differences related to parenting and finances. EFT is both gentle and effective; neither partner is favored or judged. A brief model, EFT offers lasting results.
