Relationships hold an extraordinary amount of power in our lives, and having a trustworthy relationship with a therapist can fortify your ability to tap into that power and transform it into growth. Couples, individuals, and families come to therapy to address challenges that often feel overwhelming and scary. Together, we can work at your pace towards creating room to process difficult emotions and utilize relationships as a vessel for healing.
I work with individuals, couples, and families to expand understanding, love, and respect, be that in relationships or towards yourself. I work collaboratively to identify goals, strengths, and road blocks in order to assist with long-term growth and healing. For couples, I draw from my completion of the Gottman Level 3 practicum training.
Beginning therapy is often a difficult choice, and it can bring with it feelings of anxiety and paralysis; but these don't need to stop you from becoming your best self, partner, or parent. Send me a message to learn how we can start tackling life's challenges together.

The Gottman Method guides my approach when working with couples. Initially, you'll meet with me as a couple, and then each have one individual session to fully get to the heart of what's working well and what needs adjusting in your relationship. Once I have a thorough understanding of each of your needs and desires for your relationship, we'll get to work on building that together.
