I specialize in relationship and couples work, using evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy. Whether you're navigating marital conflict, infidelity, grief, early motherhood, or LGBT-related stress, I bring both specialized training and genuine care to every session.
Do you long for the days when you and your partner seemed happy, when not every conversation left you feeling angry, sad, or misunderstood? I am a certified EFT couples therapist, and EFT gives us a clear, well-researched roadmap for breaking the cycle of the same old fight and rebuilding real connection. Even after an affair, relationships can heal and come out stronger for having worked through it.
Becoming a mom changes everything, and loving your child doesn't make the exhaustion, the worry, or the loss of your old self any less real. I offer support for women navigating early motherhood and the stress of becoming a mom: a place to say the hard parts out loud without judgment and to feel like yourself again.
Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life, and grief takes far longer than most people around you realize. You never get over the loss of someone you love deeply, but you can learn to live with it, and you can feel good again. The way through grief is through it, not around it, and you don't have to walk through it alone.
Are you spending your life afraid to admit who you really are? It can be exhausting to feel you have to pretend to be something other than who you are with the people you care about most. I've heard so much pain from my LGBT clients, but I have also seen people move to a place of self-acceptance, and seen couples work through difficult times and come to a better place. LGBT counseling offers a safe, non-judgmental space, with no agenda other than helping you find peace for yourself.
Starting a marriage or preparing for parenthood? Premarital counseling is a chance to clarify expectations, strengthen communication, and build a solid foundation before life's big transitions arrive. As a certified EFT couples therapist, I help you understand the patterns each of you brings to the relationship so you can start from a place of connection and confidence.
A space where you don't have to hold it all together. One-on-one support to help you cope with depression, anxiety, grief, or a season of transition, tailored to what you actually need right now.
Most of my clients meet with me online. Secure, confidential video sessions with the same quality of care and flexible scheduling, from the comfort of your home.
