I am a clinical psychologist specializing in couples and family therapy. I work at the largest VA couples therapy clinic in the country. I focus on helping couples feel safe to be vulnerable and to understand complex relational patterns with compassion. Many couples seek help with "communication," often pointing to deeper emotional disconnect: feeling unheard, and unsafe being vulnerable. These struggles are common not because we’re broken or don't care about our partners, but because the warmth and sense of safety we once had have slowly dimmed over time, often unknowingly. This makes it harder to share and truly hear our longing.
When we feel safer, we can share deeper needs and pain that we may not even fully understand ourselves. This opens the door to clearer communication, compassionate repair of past wounds, and deeper physical and emotional 'intimacy,' which truly means: 'into-me-see.' Couples often say, I 'knew' that about you, but this is the first time I truly 'heard' you.
Relationships can feel like old shoelaces knotted together in a box in the attic, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and uncertain where to begin. I can help you untangle those knots slowly and gently to rekindle warmth and clarity, so those loosened strings can help you step into each other’s shoes again and continue to walk together side by side.

Before becoming a psychologist, I was a chaplain in pediatric hospice, emergency departments, and ICUs. Walking closely with patients and families facing death taught me that 'when a cure isn't possible, healing can still emerge through shared vulnerability.' Their lessons guide my work today.

I strive to show up first as a fellow human being before a clinician. Clients often describe their work with me as deeply human dialogues—enriched with warmth, insight, imagery, and gentle humor, yet grounded in science. An artist at heart, I like using metaphors to translate complex ideas into experiences clients can name and feel. I see therapy as 2 people walking the heart's hallways together.
