Between juggling work, family, and life’s endless demands, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing yourself—and the connection with your partner. You deserve to feel supported, connected, and fulfilled—both in life and love. As a therapist specializing in helping individuals and couples navigate stress and strengthen their relationships, I’m here to help you find balance, peace, and deeper intimacy.

I specialize in skill building and relational work. I have a background in DBT, attachment, and collaborative therapy models. I am trained in Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, meaning I use evidence-based approaches to help individuals and couples like you break free from cycles of conflict, disconnection, and frustration.

I'm a person that loves love, plays video games, has a foodie side, and works on prioritizing joy in my life. I have a playful, irreverent style and will be by your side as you create new neural pathways to support the life you truly desire (and deserve).
