Relationships can be one of the most rewarding and most difficult parts of life. When communication breaks down or emotional connection fades, it can affect your entire sense of stability and well-being. I specialize in couples therapy and marriage counseling, helping partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional intimacy.
Whether you're facing recurring conflict, working through betrayal, or looking to reconnect, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space tailored to your relationship’s unique needs. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices, including tools from the Gottman Method and other proven modalities.
In addition to couples work, I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. My background includes working in psychiatric settings and supporting high-stress populations, including first responders. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you—with care, clarity, and compassion.
