Couples
Therapy

Welcoming all couples navigating ongoing challenges, especially those arising from differing perspectives, histories, needs, attachments, or personalities. Together, we’ll uncover and transform unhelpful patterns, repair what’s needed, remove barriers to intimacy, and foster a more fulfilling connection. I’m dedicated to guiding you toward renewed relationships with both yourself and your partner(s).

Couples
Intensives

While weekly sessions provide steady, thoughtful support, some couples occasionally choose extended, focused sessions when they want to dive more deeply into a particular issue or transition. I offer extended sessions (typically 3-6 hours over 2-3 meetings) to create space to slow down and address important patterns or conversations in a more spacious, intentional way. This compassionate, action-focused format leaves couples with greater clarity, deeper understanding, and concrete next steps.

Premarital Counseling & Relationship Transitions

Supporting couples preparing for major life changes and looking to stay connected. Sessions focus on strengthening your relationship while navigating external stressors and uncertainties, and co-creating a shared understanding of relational dynamics, values, expectations, differences, and long-term goals for your chosen family.

Therapy for
Co-parents

Parenthood comes with a profound range of emotions and experiences, like moments of immense joy and love to feelings of guilt, doubt, and regret. Many parents are also navigating complex life transitions, demanding careers, and the pressures that come with significant responsibility. I specialize in parent work, including couples navigating new parenthood, co-parenting through separation or across households, parents supporting children through challenges, and families looking to strengthen overall connection. The work can include just the caregivers, one parent/one child, or the whole village.

Individuals

Whether you have specific relational needs or a general sense of disconnection, trusting yourself and considering therapy will be invaluable. As a strengths-based therapist,
I believe in personalized approaches, with trauma-informed relational therapy at the core of our time together. Healing and growth occur when our authentic selves are witnessed and wholeheartedly embraced by others. Come as you are, and together, we’ll explore what already resides within you.
