Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I know what it’s like to feel uncertain, anxious, frustrated, and lost. My journey into therapy began when I was searching for answers to years of debilitating chronic pain. When I ultimately received a cancer diagnosis that turned my world upside down, therapy helped me find steadiness, reconnect with my sense of self, and hold onto hope. It also gave me and my partner the tools to weather a season we never saw coming. We learned that with support, a relationship can become a place of safety and refuge—even in the face of the unexpected.
It is an honor to support you on your journey.
My role is to help you—or you and your partner—make sense of the deeper patterns shaping your experience and relationships, and to offer concrete tools that support clarity, connection, and healing. Together, we’ll work to deepen your self-awareness, develop skills to navigate uncertainty, and create meaningful, lasting change—moving toward a life that feels grounded and fulfilled.
As A Partner: We incorporated the Gottman teachings early on in our relationship, which helped us build a strong foundation and stay connected as we navigated the inevitable twists and turns of life together. The only constant in life is change, and the Gottman Method helped us grow with life—supporting us in understanding our strengths and challenges as a couple while deepening our friendship. I help couples do the same by teaching communication skills that turn conflict into connection, deepen emotional intimacy, and support them in building a shared vision for their future
With Health Related Challenges: I know what it’s like to feel betrayed by your own body, to feel overwhelmed by the medical system, and to worry about being a burden. These experiences can shake your sense of control and identity. Therapy can help you define yourself beyond just your illness or trauma and reclaim parts of yourself that may feel lost. I also know how the demands of caregiving for a loved one with health-related challenges can leave little room for self-care or acknowledgment of the emotional toll. Therapy provides caregivers with tools to sustain themselves, strengthen their relationships, and find balance in an otherwise overwhelming role.
With Trauma: I know how exhausting it is to feel like you have to hold it all together after experiencing trauma. It can erode your trust in yourself, leave you feeling disconnected in relationships, and unsure of how to move forward. I also know that healing is possible—and that with the right support, you can begin to feel safe, connected, and whole again.
Using research-backed and highly effective strategies, the Gottman Method is a therapy that strengthens communication, rebuilds trust, and deepens connection by tailoring interventions to your unique relationship dynamics.
EMDR and Somatic Experiencing are the leading evidenced-based practices to help you understand how trauma has shaped your life, develop practical tools for daily resilience, and begin to rebuild trust in yourself and in the relationships that matter most.
Therapy provides a space to honor grief, process the pain, regain a sense of control, rediscover purpose, and navigate unpredictability with resilience and support.
