Couples often reach out when conflict feels repetitive, trust has been strained, or emotional distance has grown. I help partners identify and interrupt negative cycles, slow conflict in real time, and rebuild trust using attachment-based, evidence-informed approaches. I also work with individuals facing anxiety, grief, and relationship stress. As a licensed clinician and professor with over a decade of experience, I provide structured, relational care focused on meaningful, lasting change.
