About My Clients

I work with adults and couples who are feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed in their relationships or within themselves. Many of my clients are navigating dating, commitment, marriage, or early family life and want support strengthening communication and emotional connection. I also support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and life transitions. My clients are often thoughtful, self-reflective, and ready to understand themselves more deeply.

My Background and Approach

I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and ACT, depending on what best fits each client’s needs. In our work together, I focus on helping you slow down and understand the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships and emotional life. For couples, this often means identifying cycles of disconnection, improving communication, and building more emotional safety and responsiveness with one another. For individuals, it may involve exploring anxiety, self-criticism, or long-standing patterns that get in the way of feeling secure or fulfilled. Clients often come to me wanting both insight and practical tools. I aim to create a space that is warm, collaborative, and active—where we can both understand what’s happening and also work toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you care about, and more confident navigating the challenges that come up in life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people have more capacity for growth and change than they’re often given credit for. The patterns that show up in relationships or within ourselves usually make sense in context, even when they feel painful or stuck. With curiosity and support, those patterns can be understood in new ways and gradually shifted. In my work with both individuals and couples, I take a strengths-based approach that looks for what is already working and builds from there. Therapy is a collaborative process where we stay curious together about emotions, thoughts, and relationship dynamics, rather than judging or labeling them.
