About My Clients
Many of my clients come to therapy because they're noticing repeating relationship patterns—conflict cycles, trauma responses, or drifting apart. Some struggle with the impacts of addiction or infidelity in their relationship. Some are navigating different ways of processing as one or both partners experiences neurodivergence or OCD. Together, we explore these patterns, understand their roots, and develop tools to create the deeper, healthier relationships clients want.
My Background and Approach
My approach follows a simple framework: what → why → how. First, we explore the what: the emotions, patterns, and symptoms showing up in your life and relationships. Next, the why: understanding how past experiences, trauma, or automatic patterns influence your present responses. Finally, the how: developing tools and strategies to move through emotions successfully and create the relationships you want. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1 & 2 trained), Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Brainspotting, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive-behavioral, exposure and response prevention, and nature-informed therapies. My therapy dog, Teddy, sometimes joins sessions to provide a calm, grounding presence. Sessions are collaborative and experiential, helping clients notice patterns, practice new ways of responding, and strengthen emotional connection in relationships.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe each of our minds works in beautiful and unique ways and that therapy is a space to understand and harness that power. Therapy should be a place for genuine, safe and expansive connection and I strive to cultivate that for my clients. Research shows that the biggest predictor of success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship, so please don't hesitate to reach out for a 15 min consult to make sure we're a good fit! I'm happy to connect you with other clinicians if not - my hope is to make sure everyone is able to access the mental health support that is right for them.
