My mission is to turn conflict into connection. Whether you’re feeling like distant roommates, stuck in endless arguments, or simply looking to strengthen your bond, relational therapy can offer a safe space to grow and heal. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and work toward building a relationship where all partners feel heard, valued, and understood.
If you feel like you're constantly in conflict about how to clean the dishes or how to raise your kids, you might not realize that you're actually having the same fight over and over again. I will help you identify the deep themes underlying these conflicts so that you can change the cycle and find more effective ways to communicate.
To come to a stranger and share your dreams, fears, and inner-most thoughts is a brave undertaking, especially when they pertain to the relationships you treasure most. When you show up to do this work, I will not simple say, "that sounds tough." I will be with you in your pain and walk with you to the other side.

I utilize the Gottman Method to help with more productive communication. I use psychodynamic and attachment-based therapies to learn how early childhood attachments impact how we function in adult relationships. I employ experiential modalities to focus not only on what has happened in the past, but on what is happening in the room.
