Hello and welcome. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by difficult emotions, relationship patterns, or life transitions, I am here to help. I’m a relationally trained, trauma-informed therapist who specializes in working with couples and individual adults. I meet with individuals looking for relief or support navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, new parenthood, workplace stress, break-ups, divorce, and grief. For relational work, I have a passion for supporting couples and intimate relationships of all lengths and statuses.
I combine my trainings with Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, while tailoring treatment to fit your needs. I take an active, collaborative approach, and can provide relationship tools and skills to help repair conflicts, improve communication, rebuild physical and emotional intimacy, and increase understanding and connection.
I believe a trusting client-therapist relationship is crucial for successful therapeutic work. I’m committed to showing up for you and strive to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space. If my approach sounds like a good potential fit, I invite you to contact me.

I love working with couples navigating difficult relationship issues. With couples, I use an attachement lens and combine my trainings with Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method (completed Level 2). I can help provide relationship tools, while we collaboratively examine ways to change communication and behavior patterns that may be hindering trust and closeness.
