A Warm Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step to making your life work better for you. Iʻve helped hundreds of couples find greater satisfaction and connection. I encourage you to reach out when you are ready to begin. I have completed extensive training in the Developmental Model of couples therapy, bringing together the elements of attachment, differentiation, and the normal developmental stages each couple goes through. I also draw from the Gottman method and RLT. I incorporate knowledge about the brain and the mind-body connection. I hold a biopsychosocial-spiritual orientation.

I bring 40 years of clinical experience with diverse populations. Advanced training in Couples Therapy, Grief Recovery, trauma treatment and mind-body modalities. Clients describe me as having strong intuition/attunement. My gentle, but direct approach has helped them with self-compassion and more effective coping strategies. Couples have said ʻyou are not only taking in our words, but also understand and translate for us both in a language so we can understand each other.ʻ Additionally, ʻyou help us see whatʻs driving our reaction, opening up creativity and empathy; fostering a deeper connection.ʻ

I'm so glad you're here, truly. Taking this first step toward support is an incredibly courageous act. My ideal client is someone who is ready to say, "I can't do this alone anymore" and is looking for a safe, compassionate space where they can finally put their burdens down and talk openly, without any fear of judgment. Your goal isn't just to cope; it’s to step out of the silence and rediscover your strength, working toward healing, growth, and the beautiful realization that you don't have to carry it all by yourself.

Clients often come to me feeling “stuck” between wanting closeness and needing protection. Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing—it’s about understanding your patterns, restoring internal trust, and creating more ease in how you relate to yourself and others. I hold space for the full range of your story- both the pain and the strength. I see therapy as a co-created space where we untangle survival strategies that no longer serve you. I'm rooted in the depth of soul-work, exploration, and mind-body principles. Are you ready to make a decision that can change your life? Your story isn't finished, it's about to get powerful!

My ideal client is a woman who has spent years being the strong one, caring for everyone else while neglecting herself. She’s exhausted, anxious, and ready to break free from survival mode. She wants to understand her emotions, set boundaries, and stop overthinking whether she’s “too much” or “not enough.” Her goal is to heal generational patterns, reconnect with her inner calm, and live with balance, self-trust, and compassion; because she’s finally realizing she deserves peace, too.
