Asking for help takes courage, and facing life’s struggles alone can be just as hard—but you don’t have to. You deserve joy, a voice that feels heard, and the freedom to embrace your most authentic self. Together, we’ll explore how to live with purpose, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change. I’ll support you in using your strengths, living mindfully, and stepping into your power. We all need connection, love, and authenticity—when these are missing, struggles arise. You deserve a life that feels fulfilling and in alignment. My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, valued, and supported on your healing journey.

Hey Survivor, looking for a space where you can finally be vulnerable and imperfect enough to heal yourself and/or your relationship?
You (likely) identify as a woman. You grew up in a chaotic and traumatic household, and statically you experienced sexual violence before the age of 18. From a young age you started picking up slack, taking care of others, becoming your own parent. You learned to keep yourself safe by being what other people need, smoothing things over, ignoring your intuition. Likely you left home early, which left you vulnerable to your first serious relationship with someone much older and unsafe/unhealthy.

I have have a lot of experience with anxiety, depression and OCD, as well as helping people with big life changes, self esteem, and relationship issues. Everybody is different, so in working together I will listen to you and what you need from me to help you the best. A big reason I decided to become a therapist due to the belief that if people are more connected and insightful about themselves—and how they impact the world—the world itself will become a better place.

I work with individuals and relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

Many people struggle with feeling like they need to push through and avoid the hurt and stress they’ve been carrying to be strong. My passion is in helping you lift the burden you’ve been carrying and truly see and hear your story. You don't need a reason to start therapy, sometimes you just need someone to talk with and process life and all of its twists and turns. As an attachment therapist, we’ll look at how your symptoms are not a reflection of some personal flaw, but rather as a symptom of a larger relational problem. My goal is to become a safe and consistent attachment figure for you.

I use the Gottman Method in my work with couples, and also to inform my work with individuals.
Healing and growth takes place in the context of relationships - in our relationship with ourselves, and in our relationships with others. Unfortunately, sometimes our relationships become distant, disconnected and a place of conflict, leaving us with unmet needs and just feeling “stuck.” We don’t feel safe asking for what we need, and maybe don’t even know what we need ourselves. The therapeutic relationship in counseling provides an authentic and safe place in which healing can begin to take place.

With deep experience treating couples & families, I use evidence-based tools ( Gottman Method Level II trained) to facilitate change.
I love helping people be the full, rich, and authentic people they are both individually as well as within relationships. Often our childhood families or traumas get in the way of being fully and endearingly human.
Common areas I can help with: more effective communication, better ways to address conflict, help to stop avoiding topics, building trust, support and relationship strengthening after death of a child, and/or evaluation of current relational strengths/areas for growth. Couples therapy is hard work, and if everyone is willing to be flexible and try new things, change can happen very quickly!

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
