I offer therapy for both individuals and couples, fueled by a passion for exploring the intricacies of relationships and the elements that nurture enduring love and connection. I’m here to support you as you navigate anxiety and other mental health challenges, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. Together, we can identify and break free from repetitive negative patterns, shedding light on issues that may have been buried beneath the surface. My goal is to help you embrace the best version of yourself and cultivate deeper connections in your life, recognizing that this journey can often feel lonely when faced alone.

I offer a fresh perspective that highlights these challenges while emphasizing a holistic, strengths-based approach. In my practice, I incorporate a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, along with insights from Structural Family Therapy.

Therapy is a safe space to explore, express, and seek clarity. I warmly invite you to call or email me for a brief consultation to see if what I offer is a good fit for you. I look forward to connecting and exploring how we can work together!

Unlike tennis, where players compete and foster a win/lose mentality, a relationship is like a game of catch: it thrives on teamwork and cooperation. In catch, both players support each other to keep the ball in play, mirroring how partners should communicate openly and nurture one another. Embrace the catch mentality to foster partnership and avoid the pitfalls of competition.
