Couples Therapy
In couples therapy, I help partners look beneath the surface of their struggles to the deeper emotional needs that drive them. Very often, what seems like conflict about money, parenting, or daily stress is really about each partner’s longing to feel safe, seen, and connected in the relationship. Together, we pay attention to the ways you experience yourselves in relation to one another, noticing the patterns that can keep you stuck while also discovering new ways of relating that bring greater security and closeness. My approach blends the relational insight that our sense of self is shaped through connection with others with the understanding that when couples feel emotionally safe, they can move from distance or conflict toward intimacy and growth.
If you’d like a sense of what it might feel like to work with me, I invite you to visit me on Instagram, where I share short videos on themes that are both clinically relevant and widely applicable to couples.

Family
Parenting can bring out both our greatest strengths and our deepest struggles. I offer a space to reflect on how your own experiences shape the way you respond to your children, your partner, and yourself.

Careers
High-pressure careers often come with hidden costs: constant stress, difficulty unplugging, strained relationships, or the quiet sense that success isn’t bringing the fulfillment you hoped for. Let’s slow down and break these old patterns.
Anxiety +
Depression
Many of the struggles we face can be understood as patterns first shaped in the company of others. We create a space where those patterns can be noticed, explored, and gently reshaped.
