Accepting Clients

I am a radical therapist who is radically genuine. I prefer to be direct, invested and care rather than sit back and nod.

About My Clients

You’re tired of feeling like you're on edge all the time, either walking on eggshells in your relationship or barely keeping it together under the weight of everything else going on (and there is ALOT going on). You want to feel heard, supported, and like you're actually on the same team again. Whether you're a couple struggling to connect, or you're simply worn down from living in a high-stress world being in high profile jobs, a first responder, military, corporate—you don’t have to.

My Background and Approach

My approach is directness, boldness, honesty and deeply caring. I don’t just sit back and nod my head, I speak up when it counts and make sure you feel truly understood and supported. I show up with you, call out what’s getting in the way, and help you build the kind of connection and safety you’ve been missing by being radically genuine. I use many research based methods, Gottman, CBT, EFT, Bowen, etc. But what matters most to me is building something real and useful with you, not just following a script. Coming from a high-stress, military family I understand how hard it can be to let your guard down and trust that change is possible. But it is. And I’d be honored to to do it with you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

There is no relationship that is to far gone. I work on the basis of that everything can be worked through and healed, and have never seen an unsolvable relationship. I believe that if you put in the radical effort needed, you can get to as amazing of a relationship that you want. I don't believe compatibility is a real thing. I believe its a skill set that needs to be learned and is currently lacking which can often feel scary and disheartening to feel incompatible, with no real guidance to move forward and change our fears about our relationship.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
