I help individuals and couples navigate life challenges. Whether you're facing a significant crisis or simply feeling stuck, I will meet you where you are. I love working with "big feelers" and offer integrative tools to expand capacity and create resilience. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for couples facing sensitive issues or feeling locked in a high-conflict dynamic. I am Gottman trained to provide proven strategies to de-escalate tension, improve understanding, rebuild stronger connections, and release shame. No obstacle is too great.

I take a holistic approach to counseling, focused on understanding the whole person, not just the presenting issue. I approach every unique journey with compassion and a non-judgmental stance. I integrate evidence-based tools to cultivate healthier cognitive and behavioral patterns, prioritizing somatic awareness and dynamic processing of intense emotion.

If what I've detailed so far resonates, I encourage you to reach out for more information. Individuals and couples struggling with intense feelings, sexual issues, and histories of trauma are especially welcome.
