Life can be challenging and sometimes, these challenges can be overwhelming. My approach to therapy is first to create a safe space where a person can process their thoughts and feelings. I believe we all have strengths that have helped us cope throughout our lives. Sometimes, we just need a space where we can stop, reenergize and maybe even learn new skills.

I work with couples seeking to cultivate more secure, fulfilling, and resilient relationships. My approach integrates the Gottman Method, secure attachment frameworks, Polyvagal Theory, and principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster effective communication, emotional regulation, and relational safety... I also support individuals in strengthening their relationship with themselves, enhancing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-talk while promoting self-compassion and self-forgiveness. I help clients build the capacity to “feel and deal” by improving their nervous system responses and choosing better coping strategies.

More than just my credentials, I bring my whole, human self to our work together. My path was profoundly shaped by personal experience that taught me volumes about the real, day-to-day impact of these challenges, the fear, the hope, the resilience and incredible strength in a human being. Because I've seen the journey from a deeply personal vantage point, alongside extensive professional experience, I feel I can meet you exactly where you are with authentic empathy. I have both the clinical tools and a heart that has felt the ripple effects of these challenges. I believe this blend allows for a different kind of connection.
