Many people seek therapy when relationships begin to feel strained, communication breaks down, or recurring conflict creates emotional distance. Others reach out when anxiety, stress, grief, or life transitions start to feel overwhelming. I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, communication concerns, and major life transitions, including those looking to strengthen connection and rebuild trust. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-oriented, with a focus on helping clients move out of stuck patterns and develop practical tools for change.
I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to support clients experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, and relationship challenges. In couples work, my approach is grounded in the Gottman Method, with an emphasis on communication and emotional connection.
Anxiety or relationship dynamics can feel confusing or painful, however, you don’t have to carry them on your own. My goal is to offer a steady, supportive space where insight and practical tools come together. If you’re looking for a therapist who values collaboration, clarity, and relational growth, I’d be glad to connect.
