Sometimes it feels hard to stay connected — to yourself, to your partner, or just to a sense of stability. Emotions can get big, relationships can feel complicated, and the past can still echo in ways that are hard to explain. Maybe anxiety shows up more than you’d like. Maybe the same arguments keep circling back, or certain patterns leave you feeling distant, overwhelmed, or unseen. Therapy can be a space to slow down and make sense of it all — to sort through what’s happening, what matters most, and how to move forward with more clarity and authenticity in your life.
I support adults and couples navigating anxiety, mood challenges, life transitions, and disconnection. I use CBT, ACT, and the Gottman Method to help you better understand yourself and your relationships. Therapy with me blends thoughtful conversation with hands-on skills—so you leave with clarity and tools, not just talk.
Therapy with me is warm, real, and sometimes even a little fun. I’ll hold space for you with compassion and gently hold you accountable too. Whether you’re working through something solo or with a partner, I’d be honored to walk alongside you and help you reconnect with what matters.

I take a warm, collaborative approach grounded in CBT and ACT to help you build insight, resilience, and practical tools. With couples and families, I lean on the Gottman Method to support connection and communication. While I draw from other methods as needed, these are the foundations that guide our work together with care and flexibility.
