I work with people that feel a pull toward a more grounded, meaningful life. Maybe you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, or low mood and want to feel more balanced and present. Relationships are important to you, and you might be interested in couples counseling to improve communication, deepen connection, or navigate conflict. You’re ambitious or maybe just getting by, but you know you need time in nature, mindful practices, and strategies to boost both personal well-being and your best performance at work. Together, we focus on practical tools and holistic support to help you thrive individually, in work, and with those you love.
I specialize in CBT, somatic interventions, ecotherapy, habit formation and the Gottman Method for couples counseling in order to support people with connection and contentment in a world of growing AI and screen based relationships. I listen deeply, help process emotions, tame thoughts, and practice skills that create lasting personal and relational growth.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Balancing work, relationships, and self-care can feel overwhelming and stuck. Together, we can create a space to explore what matters most, build lasting skills, and find more ease, connection, and fulfillment. I hope you'll write me a message to get started. Or sign up for one of my groups for instant connection!

For couples counseling, I use primarily the Gottman method, which is an approach that originated from decades of research about "what works" to sustain long term romantic relationships that can manage conflict and are happy and meaningful. The hopelessness and frustration of ongoing marital problems can be changed when we start to do things differently!
