Do you ever feel like you and your partner are more like roommates than a couple? Maybe the spark is gone, the conversations feel shallow, or you can’t remember the last time you felt truly close. I specialize in helping couples who feel disconnected find their way back to a relationship that feels safe, loving, and alive again.
I support couples who feel disconnected or unsure of their future. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help partners rebuild trust and closeness. Through Discernment Counseling, I offer guidance for couples at a crossroads, creating space for clarity, care, and hope in whatever path lies ahead.
My clients often tell me they feel comfortable and safe with me, even when discussing the most difficult parts of their relationship. If you’re longing for closeness again, or if you’re at a crossroads and don’t know what direction to take, I’d be honored to walk with you.

I work with two types of couples. The First Couple: Is in a committed relationship, both want to work towards strengthening the weaknesses in their relationship, and are willing to put in the work to see improvement. The Second Couple: Are two people who have made a commitment (marriage, kids, house) but are now at odds about whether or not to continue the relationship.

In Traditional Therapy: I work to help you clarify your values, help you make valued choices in difficult situations, and learn how to better communicate your needs and boundaries to those around you. In Discernment Counseling: I help you and your partner to take an honest look at your relationship. Ultimately, you will gain clarity on whether to work on the marriage or to go your separate ways.
