I work with individuals and couples who are thoughtful, intelligent, and curious about themselves and their relationships. If you're someone who tends to reflect deeply, feels things strongly, and you're seeking more clarity, connection, or healing — you're in the right place. I love helping couples strengthen their connection, communication, and trust, changing the pattern of their relationship into one that feels joyful and grounded. I also really enjoy working with college and graduate students, trauma survivors, and LGTBQ2SIA+ individuals.
When you sit down with me, you'll be met with warmth, acceptance and validation - but I'll also challenge you to move outside your comfort zone, because change doesn't happen by sticking to what's familiar.
I'm honored that you're considering sharing your story with me. It's a privilege to be invited to walk alongside you on this portion of your journey. Please reach out to my office to schedule. I look forward to meeting you!
