Most people who find their way to me aren't in total meltdown. They're self-aware, functional, and a little tired of the same loops. The same argument that never resolves, the distance that crept in somewhere along the way. That doesn't mean something is broken. It means something you care about deserves more than you've been able to give it alone. I work with couples and individuals ready to understand those patterns and actually change them using methods grounded in neuroscience and attachment research. ADHD in relationships is also a particular focus, and one I bring personal experience to.
Specializing in couples therapy using PACT and the Gottman Method, two of the most research-backed approaches available, means clients get real tools, not just a space to vent. Couples at any stage are welcome, from crisis to enrichment, as are individuals navigating relationship patterns.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out to a therapist can feel like a big step — I get that. Whether you're certain therapy is right for you or still on the fence, feel free to send a message. There's no pressure, just a conversation to see if we might be a good fit. You don't have to have it all figured out to start.

My approach is influenced by Attachment Theory, recognizing the profound impact of early experiences and attachment patterns on our adult relationships. By exploring attachment, we can uncover deep-rooted patterns that may be contributing to relational difficulties. Together, we will work to promote secure attachment, fostering trust, intimacy, and emotional resilience within your relationships.
