Do you keep having the same argument with your partner, no matter how hard you try to fix it? Maybe communication breaks down, one of you shuts down, or small conflicts escalate quickly. I work with couples stuck in painful cycles who want deeper connection and real repair. Together, we uncover the patterns driving conflict and build practical tools to change them. My approach is collaborative and experiential, helping you feel heard, understood, and more secure, both in session and at home. Meaningful change is possible.
I work with men navigating emotional expression, identity, and relationship patterns; couples seeking deeper connection and healing after conflict; and premarital partners building a strong foundation. Together, we develop tools to express emotions confidently and break repetitive conflict cycles to create lasting connection.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy storytelling in all its forms, through literature, media, and immersive experiences like tabletop role-playing games. This passion for creativity and exploration shapes my therapeutic style, bringing warmth, curiosity, and adaptability to each session. I’d love to hear your story and walk with you as you begin your next chapter.
