Tired of having to explain or defend yourself, or your existence, to those who just don’t get it? I see you. Feeling crushed by the weight of everything going on right now — sociopolitical stressors and related bullshit, family stress, relationship challenges? Are you tired of feeling alone, scared, or unsupported as you try to navigate it all? Or maybe you are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and seeking a real therapist who just gets it - no explaining necessary. Maybe you and your partner are stuck in a pattern that leaves you feeling disconnected and frustrated with each other, and exhausted with the universe.

Gottman Method Therapy can help even when past attempts at marriage counseling have failed.
Do you and your partner seem stuck in a pattern of conflict and miscommunication no matter what you do? Are you exhausted from pretending like your relationship is okay, but in reality you’re just dreading the next blowup? When your most significant relationships are in crisis, it can leave you feeling uncertain and deeply anxious about the future. Sleepless nights and emotional turmoil have you on edge, wondering how you'll ever make it through if "just one more thing" happens. As a therapist with 25 years of experience, I understand the toll that relationship distress and conflict can take on your mental and physical health.

Using IFS and other tools, I help people navigate ADHD, anxiety, religious trauma, and relationship challenges to cultivate sustainable well-being and lifelong integration. Maybe you're experiencing moodiness or reactivity—emotions that feel massive, confusing, or absent altogether. Maybe executive dysfunction or sociopolitical distress is stalling your daily tasks. Or maybe a strained relationship or harsh inner critic is weighing you down. My aim is to help you break patterns of self-abandonment, be with your experience, process your emotions, work with your mind, and show up in alignment with your values.

Does your relationship feel like a constant source of worry and uncertainty? You’ve noticed a growing emotional distance with your partner, and you find yourself holding back your concerns—afraid of conflict, disappointing them, or making things worse. Every time you try to speak up, your mind goes blank and your heart races. Lately, you’ve been feeling unappreciated. You wonder if your partner even cares, or if there’s something deeper at play. You’re losing sleep and it feels like your heart is breaking. You want to move forward but feel lost and alone, wishing for someone who truly understands and can help.

My approach includes Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT).
As a high‑achieving couple, you’ve built careers, families, and a life that looks great on paper, the kind of life people assume must run effortlessly. And yet, behind the scenes, you’re navigating distance, tension, and the quiet heartbreak of feeling misunderstood by the person who’s supposed to know you best. You find yourselves stuck in the same painful cycles: conversations that start with good intentions and somehow end in silence, shutdown, or a debate about who “always” or “never” does what. You’re exhausted from walking on eggshells and replaying arguments in your head.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.
