About My Clients
Stuck in constant conflict or worried a relationship may end, my clients are often looking for a quick, practical approach that will help them find a path forward "right now." Most of the clients I see are high conflict couples or people asking the painful question of whether their relationship can be repaired. Some are considering separation or divorce, and others are at their wits' end with family or close friends. I help people find clarity in these situations and work to repair and rebuild.
My Background and Approach
I'm a couples therapist and a relationship scientist who has spent the last 8 years studying how romantic conflict impacts mental health and family systems. I've spend hundreds of hours analyzing conflict-specific behaviors, which means I am well-prepared to help you identify cycles and break out of them. For couples and families, especially, we won't just talk about the issues you're facing, we'll work through them together, making each therapy session a meaningful step towards healthier patterns. My work with couples is primarily informed by the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy, which I completed Level 1 training in in 2024. This attachment-based approach encourages clients to bring their whole selves to therapy and "show me" what their conflicts and disagreements are like at home. Then, I can support you in the moment you need it most: while you're actively trying to resolve conflict with your partner. I also see individuals/families regarding relationship issues!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that people are more than the most difficult things they face in life. I strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and never judged. I value curiosity over assumptions and believe that open communication with a therapist requires feeling safe in therapy, so here are a few things to know about me as we start to build that safety: I believe therapy should be accessible all who need it, so I intentionally keep my rates below local averages. I have supported clients of many backgrounds, including people from different racial/ethnic/religious backgrounds than me, people who have experienced severe trauma, people with legal troubles, and people feeling incredible shame from hurting others. I grew up in a rural area, so I understand how important community can be, especially in tough times. I'm a teacher, supporting students from all backgrounds and causes related to higher ed.
