Evening/Weekend Availability. Life and relationships can feel disorienting, asking us to pause and reconsider our sense of self, the patterns in our relationships, and direction in life.

Many clients come in during moments of conflict, emotional disconnection, or uncertainty about what comes next. As a hand-selected PairCare therapist, I practice the PairCare Method, a specialized couples-focused approach dedicated to clinical excellence in relationship therapy.

I’m glad you’re here right now, reading through different bios. The interest you’re taking in yourself is huge. I recognize starting with a counselor may feel daunting, but I am here to make that process as open and as safe as possible. Many come to therapy feeling burned out, anxious, or unsure why things feel so difficult despite their best efforts. If you’re feeling alone, stuck, or overwhelmed by the same patterns showing up in your life, therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin creating meaningful, sustainable change.

You have a vision for your life, and despite your best efforts it hasn't yet materialized. You may want more fulfilling relationships, to feel worthy, to feel calmer in your mind and emotions, to focus more on the positive aspects of your life or to make decisions more easily.

You may be worried it won't help and you are ready to try therapy.
