Falling in love is easy; staying in love once you find it can be the difficult part. Let me help you create the relationship you desire. Relationships built on a solid foundation of trust, communication, compassion, bonding, & empathy require work & intention, but you don't have to navigate the road alone. I can help you along this journey. I'm a relationship expert and use research-based approaches such as Gottman, P.A.I.R.S. Essentials, C-CBT for PTSD, etc. However, I am not an expert on your life; therefore, the methods I use can be adaptive so that you can create interventions that are meaningful and fit your life.

My ideal client is someone who is ready for new results. I love helping people create what is really important for their life, and I am committed to being someone who can push them to have it. The most successful couples I work with have struggled with infidelity, considered divorce, or lost the fireworks in their marriage. The most successful individuals I work with have struggled with anxiety, addiction, intimacy issues, death/loss, or finding a purpose. All of my clients who succeed are open to exploring new ideas and hungry for change. Our conversations are action-oriented and results driven. Most of our sessions are fun.

I’m here to help you slow things down and understand what’s happening in both your mind and body so we can come up with realistic ways to help you move forward toward a life that feels more like your own.

When life is hard, therapy helps. Sadness, anxiety, issues in our relationships, complications of aging, work stress, illness, family conflict, they can all feel overwhelming. Talking through life events can decrease the pain we feel, and support our ability to manage stressors. Therapy is a place to sort out what is working for you and what you want to change in life - and it makes change possible. I bring lots of years of experience and a belief in the positive effect of warmth and humor combined with evidence based therapeutic strategies.

First sessions with a new therapist can be intimidating! Please know that while first sessions are a time where I will ask many questions to start getting to know you, there are no “right” or “wrong” answers. Therapists should be intentional about accepting you for who you are!
