Couples Therapy
I work with couples at all stages of their relationship, from those seeking to strengthen their premarital bond, to those navigating profound betrayal and uncertainty.
I believe that every* relationship has the potential for growth, security, and renewal. Because of this belief, I encourage couples to view their relationship as a living, evolving gift that requires ongoing attention and care. When we start couples therapy, we will talk about your relationship from the very beginning. We will talk about the strengths and the challenges in your relationship. This gives us a map to figure out what is keeping you stuck and how to make your relationship better.
*In cases involving emotional, psychological, physical or sexual abuse, safety is the absolute priority; these are not situations where a couple should endure couples therapy together, and my role shifts to helping individuals safely navigate their options and find support.
I specialize in helping couples with:
Overcoming conflict cycles
Developing new communication skills
Improving intimate and sexual connections
Understanding your relationship and attachment needs
Cultivating self-compassion and acceptance for yourself and your partner
Identifying and building on your unique strengths and inner resources

Marriage Counseling
“No one ever taught us how to communicate.”
Everyone has a past, and that is where we start with marriage counseling. First, we look at your relationship timeline to identity the strengths and challenges of your relationship. Then, we create a customized plan specific to your relationship. Marriage counseling focuses on improving how couples interact and respond to each other’s emotional needs, emphasizing the importance of both partners’ emotional well-being. Marriage therapy helps couples identify unhealthy patterns of behavior, such as defensive reactions or blame, and teaches them how to communicate with more empathy, understanding, and respect.

LGBTQ+ and ENM Therapy
“We need a therapist who won’t judge our relationship.”
With a deep commitment to inclusivity, I specialize in providing compassionate and affirming support to LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating ethical non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. Understanding the unique complexities that can arise in these communities, I aim to create a space free of judgment where clients can explore their identities, relationship dynamics, and communication needs.

Couple Transitions
We are at a crossroads. There has been so much hurt and disconnect, we aren’t sure that we can stay together.”
When a couple feels at a crossroads or enters a new chapter (example: growing family, a slow down in intimacy, moving, or career changes) they can become unsure if they can stay together due to hurt or disconnect. Therapy offers a path to healing and clarity. Therapy can offer tools for healing and guide couples in making empowered decisions about their future—whether that means rebuilding the relationship or finding a respectful way to part ways.
