Do you want to build better intimacy and emotional closeness in your relationship with your romantic partner? If you are looking to reconnect with your partner, strengthen your bond and intimacy, learn ways to manage conflict better, and enjoy the benefits of a healthy and lasting intimate relationship, then I may be the ideal fit for you! I can teach you evidence-based skills to communicate better and strengthen your relationship.
I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of relationship and marital distress. I work with couples and individuals wanting to improve their relationship. I work from an Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy lens, and enjoy working with couples and individuals struggling with relational issues.
My first goal as a clinician is to create a warm and supportive therapeutic environment that will help you reach your goals. I have a warm and compassionate treatment approach. I also believe in honesty and transparency about the therapeutic process. I care deeply about my clients, and would love to work with you to create the life you envision for yourself!
