My first job as a therapist is to listen and understand. Deep listening is a time honored tradition and fundamental to healing. I strive to create a safe and nurturing relationship with clients that is a source of comfort and inspiration. Clients inspire me too! I practice spiritually grounded psychotherapy. This means I see life's challenges as, fundamentally, opportunities to grow spiritually and as a whole person. To me, the process of healing is beautiful and miraculous, something that gives us glimpses of a benevolent force much greater than ourselves.

I help people transform painful patterns and reconnect in their most important relationships—with partners, kids, parents, and themselves.
You want real change. Not just coping skills or check-ins—but actual healing. Relief. Transformation. You’re tired of patterns that keep showing up in your relationships—whether you’re struggling to stay connected, set boundaries, or make sense of how your past shows up in the present. Maybe you’re navigating life with someone who’s intense, reactive, shut down, or maybe that someone is you. You’re trying your best, but it all still lives in your nervous system. You want support that’s attuned to your history, grounded in science, and fiercely committed to your growth, healing, and transformation. You don’t have to do this alone.
