Couples Therapy

I have dedicated my professional career to honing my craft as a couples therapist. The work I do with couples fosters clear, effective communication, helping you understand the profound impact your words and actions can have on each other so to create greater intimacy between you two. Through practical, research based tools and techniques, I guide couples in expressing themselves in a constructive, respectful way.

Individual Therapy

Alongside couples therapy, I also offer individual therapy. Together, we build skills that help you move with clarity and confidence. Sessions are real, usable, and focused on what matters most to you. Clients often come to me for support with anxiety, relationships, boundaries, addiction, career changes, and life transitions.

Therapy from a specialist in couples counseling

Many of us, at one time or another, start to feel stuck in cycles of not feeling heard, inability to find compromise, hopeless about the future, or even feeling like the person I love doesn’t like me. These are common struggles we all go through, yet they're often left unspoken or brushed aside. I know these struggles feel overwhelming and I want to tell you that there is a path forward.

Together, we’ll work not only to resolve what’s happening now, but also to strengthen the foundation of your relationship for the future. You can do this!
