Are you worried about your relationship? Does it feel like the ease, joy and close connection you experienced early on is becoming a distant memory? I specialize in helping couples and individuals achieve the awareness, skills, emotional agility, and healing that will enable you to have the secure and supportive relationship you want and deserve. Is conflict increasing, sex decreasing? Is there more complaining, fighting and withdrawal than feeling understood, appreciated and respected? Are underlying problems of anxiety, issues from childhood and loss of trust compounding stressors like kids, finances & in-laws?
If so, I can help. My goal for you is deep and lasting change, and my approach is active, compassionate, trauma-informed, and multi-layered. Together we will identify and dismantle destructive patterns that prevent healthy relationship and replace them with new ways of interacting that help you feel empowered and connected.
Whether you are currently in a relationship that could use some help or single and wanting to get it right next time, feel free to contact me for a no-cost 20-minute in-person consultation to discuss how I might help you reach your relationship goals.

Be it individual or couples therapy, we will always begin the first session by identifying goals and creating an environment of trust. My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed and integrates my training in interpersonal neurobiology, systems theory and body/brain experiential approaches such as EMDR, mindfulness, parts work, sand tray, and somatic awareness.

My approach is based in family systems, attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology. In our first session we will identify clear goals which will inform treatment. A close, trusting relationship with the therapist is the primary factor in successful outcomes. Common interventions include relationship coaching, EMDR, inner child work, somatic and parts work, idealized parent figure protocol.
