Life can be painful and confusing, and sometimes it helps to have a safe place to talk things through. I work with individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. I offer a warm, respectful space where you can talk openly without feeling judged. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways forward. Each client is unique, and we’ll work at your pace toward the changes that matter to you.
With 28+ years of experience, I help individuals and couples make sense of what they’re experiencing and find practical ways forward. I draw especially from Narrative and CBT approaches, and use Gottman-based work with couples to strengthen communication and connection. I also enjoy helping couples prepare for marriage.
Originally from California, I’ve lived in Georgia and Switzerland and traveled extensively, giving me a genuine appreciation for different perspectives, backgrounds, and ways of life. I believe you should be able to come to therapy as you are, without judgment. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and able to recognize your own strengths.
