My work is informed by IMAGO relationship therapy, Internal Family Systems, and trauma-informed relational work.
Many couples don’t struggle because they don’t care. They struggle because the same conversations keep happening. One pushes harder. The other shuts down. Both leave feeling alone.
I specialize in couples therapy and relationship patterns. I work best with couples motivated for real change and willing to look at their own part. Many come in feeling stuck in repeating conflict, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to repair trust.

Some of us have waited our whole lives to be received with intelligent compassion. Being heard and feeling deeply understood matters. When it happens, we know it – we can sense it viscerally. It helps us begin to make sense of our histories, our thoughts and feelings, of inevitable changes and life challenges, of successes and failures. I strive to create such an environment, to listen carefully with my mind and my heart to what is said and to what may still be un-sayable. I strive to help you heal old emotional wounds of many kinds, face current challenges with curiosity, and create lasting changes for a better future.

I teach couples the behaviors & skills required for healthy relationships, AND simultaneously use "insight oriented" therapy (such an Internal Family Systems) to help each client understand their own barriers to change.
I specialize in couples therapy, as I strongly believe that relationships are a core way we learn about ourselves; both the parts of us we like; as well as the parts we don't. When we're triggered by our partner, it's always an opportunity to learn about what still needs healing in ourselves. As we navigate life's stages, ALL of us will change...but in relationships, these changes don't always stay in sync, and that can feel stressful. Couples therapy is a way to recalibrate things; to upgrade our communication skills, rebuild our trust, grow our intimacy; and to create understanding and acceptance of our newfound differences.

From the outside, it may look like you have it all together. You're successful, capable, and dependable.

You've spent years being the strong one, but still find yourself stuck in familiar patterns, feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure how to create the change you want.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
