This is supported by my Master Level Certification from Terry Real's Relational Life Institute (one of only 30 internationally).

No matter your current struggle, therapy can be an instrumental part of the healing process. The journey starts with creating a safe and comfortable environment where barriers to healthy living can be openly explored.

My predominant focus is with couples and families, with a focus in neurodivergence, difficult life transitions, infidelity recovery, intimacy issues, blended family matters, family planning, and trauma.

The focus of treatment is to create a safe space in which people can explore and understand their internal parts and systems, and disrupt old relational patterns that leave them feeling stuck and unsatisfied.
