Couples therapist for marriage conflict, and those wanting peace and healing. Couples experiencing divorce, affairs, conflict, trauma, and neurodivergence. Many of my clients are insightful, capable, and deeply self-aware yet still stuck in hurtful patterns. Knowledge alone hasn’t shifted the patterns. That’s where deeper work begins. I specialize in supporting individuals and couples, navigate relationship anxiety, depression, substance use, and complex relational trauma. I also specialize in supporting individuals and couples who have been early or late diagnosed with Autism or ADHD.
I integrate IFS (parts work), EFT, Gottman Method, CBT, and DBT to help you understand what’s happening beneath the conflict. We work with the protective parts that shut down, hold grudges, or avoid vulnerability so you can respond instead of react. My approach is warm, direct, and practical. You’ll gain clarity, emotional regulation tools, and control.
My approach aims to create both emotional safety and deeper love for yourself and your partner. With over two decades of professional experience, 2 masters degrees in communication, marriage and family therapy, and a doctorate in education, I bring both clinical rigor and real-world experience to our sessions.

I use an integrative, mixed-modality approach because no two clients or relationships are the same. Drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, EFT, Gottman Method, Bowen theory, and Narrative therapy, I tailor treatment to your specific nervous system, attachment style, and goals. This allows us to move beyond surface-level coping and create deeper, lasting change.
