I specialize in working with women impacted by generational trauma and provide couples therapy for partners navigating relational instability, communication challenges, and disconnection. My work focuses on identifying inherited patterns—such as over-functioning, emotional suppression, people-pleasing, and conflict avoidance—and helping clients interrupt cycles that no longer serve them. Using a compassionate, attachment-focused approach, I help individuals and couples build healthier ways of communicating, connecting, and responding to conflict using the Gottman Method.
I help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and navigate conflict using evidence-based approaches including the Gottman Method and Seeking Safety. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I also work with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, and substance challenges.
Relationships can be hard, especially when trust has been broken, communication feels impossible, or old wounds keep showing up. I help couples reconnect, navigate conflict, and build stronger emotional bonds using the Gottman Method and Seeking Safety.
