If you're dealing with chronic conflict, sexual incompatibility or potential separation, I can help. Through our work together, you will feel more connected to your partner, communicate more effectively, and create a better sex life. I am able to support you through life transitions such as marital counseling, pregnancy, grief/loss, and infidelity recovery. For those who wish to separate, I can act as a guide through a peaceful separation/divorce. No matter the type of relationship, I'm here to provide guidance and support. I also work with those experiencing painful sex, desire discrepancy, and sexual dysfunction.
I help couples become more emotionally aware, learn practical communication skills, and break their patterns of conflict. Together, we will examine your emotions, thoughts, and behavior patterns to create long-term change. I am direct, structured, and committed to getting the results you desire. Expect me to be warm, straightforward, and nonjudgmental.
Sessions are virtual allowing you and your partner to participate in therapy from anywhere. Let's work together to create the relationship you desire. I serve clients living in Colorado, Washington, and Florida. If you want a relationship that feels more connected, romantic, and fulfilling, email me to schedule our first session.

I often use Emotion Focused Therapy techniques to release underlying emotions while also using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge core beliefs and change unhelpful behavior patterns. I am an active therapist that offers feedback, encouragement, and insight to help you build autonomy and create the life you want.
