Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the changes in your life? Maybe you’re postpartum and overwhelmed, crying more than you thought you would, or feeling like you’ve lost yourself. Maybe parenting, this thing you thought would come naturally, feels impossibly hard, lonely, or triggering. Maybe the spark has left your marriage and you've started having an affair, or you are feeling upside down having just discovered your partner is having an affair. Whatever you're going through, you feel isolated, like there’s no one to turn to, no one to confide in. Your mind is flooded with racing thoughts, and it’s exhausting.

Hi, welcome. I work with people who are looking for more joy, play, bravery, connectedness, and self-compassion in their lives; who want to be steady, even when things are falling apart; and who hope for stronger connections with loved ones, even across differences or tensions.
Whether we work 1:1, with partner(s), or with your family, my goal is to bring gentleness, transparency, and warmth into our work. Depending on your hopes, we may dive deep into the past, find stillness in the present, or reimagine the future, in order to build new patterns of courage, freedom, and belonging in your life and relationships.

Welcome! I'm so happy you've found yourself here. Whether you choose me as a therapist or not, visiting a therapist's website is already a powerful step in your story. I work with couples caught in repeating arguments, feeling unheard by their partner, or facing a major life transition — a new baby, a career change, a blended family, or the work of rebuilding trust after a rupture. I also work with individuals sorting through relationship patterns, family or parental conflict, friendship struggles, boundary-setting, self-worth, or simply the ongoing work of figuring out who they are and what they want.

I’m passionate about helping people feel more connected to themselves and those they love. So many couples come into therapy feeling stuck in the same painful conversations or distant from one another, and one of the most meaningful parts of my work is helping partners slow things down and truly understand what is happening underneath the conflict. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move out of cycles of hurt and disconnection and toward deeper trust, closeness, and emotional safety. I also have experience supporting military couples as they navigate the unique stressors that can come with deployment.
