I'm dedicated to helping diverse couples, including monogamous & non-monogamous, experience profound change, believing in each relationship's potential to reconnect & rekindle love.
Are you and your partner struggling to maintain a deep connection and overcome negative communication patterns? You may be fed up with constant arguments, feelings of distance, or the inability to express your emotions effectively. It might be hard to remember a time when your relationship didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for a change. You're ready to rekindle the love and understanding that once defined your partnership. You're ready to foster a supportive, harmonious, and lasting bond.

I also have experience with people who identify as having a bipolar diagnosis, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
Hi there! Welcome to one more step in your search for the life you want. Therapy is one way to increase joy, be reminded of whats wonderful about yourself, and overcome the barriers that have blocked you in the past. It also gives you the tools to continue that process. Collaboratively we strengthen your sense of worth so that you have the energy and motivation to work toward your personal goals. Increasing self-compassion and awareness frees an individual from the habits or ruts we all tend to dip into in life.

You’re so ready for change but feeling nervous and lost on where to start. Your relationship feels lonely, empty, or passionless – you’re carrying unspoken hurts and the load has gotten too heavy. You want security, desire, comfort, and hope in your relationship! Maybe you’re grieving the loss of a relationship, phase in your life, or part of your identity. You need a safe, nonjudgmental space to navigate the tangle of sadness, confusion, frustration, and fear. Maybe you’re realizing it’s time to process and come to terms with your past, embrace authenticity and begin building a life more true to who you are.

I am an LGBTQ-affirming therapist, & my practice centers on supporting individuals and couples (in all forms of relationship structures) who are seeking to heal from unhealthy relationship dynamics, trauma, and anxiety.
On the surface, the world sees you as the one who ‘always has it together’ - but on the inside, you’re starting to feel like you’re falling apart. You feel like you're working overtime to push down those uncomfortable feelings (you know, the ones that have always been lurking in the background) - except no matter how hard you try, you’re finding yourself more anxious, ungrounded, and on edge than ever before. You want your body to feel more at ease. You want to feel more connected (to yourself, to others). You want to see (and trust) what others see. But, you’re just not sure how.

I believe all relationship structures work and enjoy supporting couples navigate conflict and disconnect.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are motivated to make changes, build insight, and strengthen their connections. I work with clients seeking support in addressing a range of challenges such as self-worth, intergenerational trauma/patterns, grief, conflict resolution, codependency, and interpersonal difficulties. My primary goal as your therapist is to assist you in identifying and overcoming the barriers that may be hindering your progress. Sometimes, these barriers can be self-imposed. We will work together to recognize the ways in which we unintentionally impede our own growth and well-being.

Sometimes life challenges leave you overwhelmed and you do not know what to do. Seeking counseling can be difficult and it is often hard to take the first step. I offer a safe and supportive environment to work with you on making the changes to improve your life. I am committed to providing effective and non-judgemental services to the individuals and families I work with. Working with children who have experienced traumatic life experiences is an area that I have many years of experience. Helping these children build trusting relationships with others is very important to me.

I am rooted in a person-centered and strengths-based approach, and emphasize the importance of creating a trusting relationship.
Have you ever found yourself plagued with racing thoughts that leave you feeling restless and awake at night? Maybe you’ve experienced a heaviness that makes taking a step from bed feel impossible? Perhaps you’re struggling to live in the present due to feeling stuck replaying past pain? You continue putting one foot in the front of the other to keep up with the everyday demands of life meanwhile feeling burned out, defeated, and disconnected. You feel ready to pursue change and live in a way that feels more fulfilling and authentic but aren’t sure where to start.

My therapy is strongly person centered; I embrace the idea that a solid therapeutic relationship is the backbone to change. I believe this relationship is built through empathy, humor, and respect for the idea that you are the expert in your own life, not me. My therapeutic style is eclectic; I tailor treatments to your needs to find an approach that feels right to you. What this means is that therapy will look different for different clients; sometimes you might need a supportive listener, and sometimes you might need concrete exercises to build new skills. As a therapist, I believe it is my job to pivot according to your needs.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
