About My Clients

My clients are couples and individuals who feel stuck in exhausting cycles—constant arguments, emotional shutdown, resentment, or intimacy that feels forced or nonexistent. They’re tired of talking in circles and want real movement, not endless processing. Many are high-functioning, self-aware, and motivated, but feel overwhelmed by patterns they can’t break alone. They’re ready for honesty, structure, and clear direction toward meaningful change.

My Background and Approach

My work is grounded in couples therapy, specializing in relationship dynamics that feel intense, overwhelming, and all consuming. I work with couples who feel stuck in repeated cycles of conflict that escalates quickly, emotional shutdown, resentment, or intimacy that feels disconnected or forced. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high functioning people who understand their patterns intellectually but still feel trapped in them emotionally. I use research based models including EFT and the Gottman Method, while maintaining a clear, boundary oriented structure. My approach is active and direct. I don’t sit back and let the same conversations repeat. I help identify the cycle, interrupt it in real time, and guide you toward new ways of relating. Therapy with me balances warmth with accountability. You’ll have a safe space to be honest, along with clear expectations, direction, and tools to create real change. The goal is meaningful, lasting movement forward.
