Couples/Singles openings now! Life has a way of bringing us to moments where the old ways of coping just aren't working anymore—where something in our relationships needs to shift, even if we're not quite sure what. If you've found yourself in one of those moments, I'm glad you're here. I work with couples, young adults, and midlife women navigating relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and women's health concerns, including menopause. As a hand-selected PairCare therapist, I practice the PairCare Method, a specialized couples focused therapy approach dedicated to clinical excellence in relationship therapy.
Whether you're working through relationship patterns, your direction, or want to understand yourself more deeply, my goal is to offer a space where you feel genuinely heard and never judged. I use a structurally informed, Adlerian approach and integrate attachment, CBT, DBT, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, because every person and relationship is unique.
Counseling is my second career, and that journey reminds me every day that growth isn't linear and meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. At PairCare, you'll receive thoughtful, evidence-based care backed by a collaborative team dedicated to helping you build stronger relationships and a more fulfilling life.
