Life can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a space to process, heal, and grow. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy, specializing in relationship dynamics, including polyamorous partnerships, as well as personal growth and emotional well-being. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I also have extensive experience utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and continue to implement and expand my knowledge in this area.
I’m passionate about helping couples navigate relationship challenges, fostering open communication, trust, and emotional intimacy. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where each partner feels heard, working together to strengthen bonds and build resilient, fulfilling relationships. I have over a decade of experience in community mental health.
I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space where your voice is truly heard. Whether you’re navigating relationship challenges, personal struggles, or life transitions, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, strength, and fulfillment. I’d love to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey. Let’s connect.
