About My Clients

I work with couples, individuals, and teens navigating relationship distress, intimacy and sexual concerns, mental load, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting first responders and military families. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, welcoming of diverse relationship structures and faith backgrounds, and grounded in respect for your identity, culture, and experiences.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and a Certified First Responder Counselor. My approach is grounded in attachment and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, we explore the patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or alone. I offer a warm, collaborative space to understand your emotions and needs, practice new ways of communicating, and build more secure connections at your own pace. As the author of Room in Her Head, I also bring a focus on mental load, shared responsibility, and how everyday relationship dynamics can influence emotional connection and sexual desire.
