I specialize in relationships and all aspects of connecting to self and important others. I know the power of relationships as a source of great joy and the roots of your deepest pain. Whatever your relationship struggles, I’m here to help. I work with relationships across the life span, including going back to childhood experiences and how relationships have shaped you, love relationships, sex, parenting, empty nesting, identity, purpose, and the impact of life and losses along the way. I am skilled in going deep and getting to the origins of your struggles so you can organize, heal, grow, and create the lasting change you seek.
Together, we can map out your relationship patterns and identify your strengths, needs, and longings. From there, we can explore any hurts, adaptations, protections, roles, patterns, unmet needs, and shadow drivers that underpin your ways of relating to both yourself and others. Everything you do makes sense in the context of your unique life.
You deserve to have access to your emotions, needs, and boundaries, and be able to share these with those you love. You deserve to experience safety and trust. You deserve to heal and feel free. I lean on 22 years of MFT practice to help you explore, transform, trust, and integrate all the possibilities available to you for living, loving, and leading.

I lean into family systems, attachment, emotion, trauma, and somatic models of therapy. These approaches allow me to help clients (and therapists!) organize their current maps for self and others, identify and heal the issues that cause pain, burnout, or limitation, and move toward potential. My approach is human, directive, engaging, purposeful, and goal-focused.
