About

As human beings, we all face difficult seasons of life, as do our relationships. My practice is currently focused on providing a unique, somatic & attachment-based approach to couples & relationship therapy via telehealth video sessions. The way that we are in a relationship is a reflection of how we are in relationship to ourselves, and my approach takes this into account to provide a safe, gentle, and direct space for you and your partner to explore how you show up in the relationship.
I work with adult couples - millennials & LGBTQ - on a variety of issues such as infidelity, codependency, addiction recovery, relationship conflicts, communication skills, and more. I focus on emotion co-regulation to support building trust and creating safety. I am also a trauma-informed therapist, with experience processing this in relationships.
I am professionally trained in somatic psychotherapy, and have 5 years of experience working with families and couples. I am passionate about supporting couples as they work to on the foundations of their relationship to create a supportive, powerful partnership.
