LMFT, 14 years of experience
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with couples who feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in cycles of miscommunication, or overwhelmed by life transitions such as parenting, career changes, or shifting roles. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling more like roommates than partners—longing to restore closeness, improve communication, and rebuild the trust and intimacy that once brought them together. Whether you're navigating conflict, coping with stress, or simply feeling distant, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore the deeper patterns impacting your relationship. I am trained in Imago Relationship Therapy, which helps couples transform conflict into opportunities for deeper connection and growth. By guiding partners through the Imago Dialogue process, they create a safe space for communication, enabling couples to move beyond blame and defensiveness and into mutual understanding and empathy. I understand how painful it can be to long for closeness and not know how to get back to it. Therapy is a place where you and your partner can slow down, and begin to rebuild the trust, intimacy, and connection you both deserve. If you’re ready to take that first step toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out. I’m here to support you.
In our first session, I'll gather information to help me better understand what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I'll ask questions about your background and current challenges to help me understand your situation, and we'll talk about goals for treatment.
You will find that your needs drive the therapeutic approach I use to assist you in developing appropriate self-care strategies, coping skills, and more effective ways to manage life stressors and improve the enjoyment of your life and relationships.
For couples, my dream clients are a pair who see their relationship as a sacred space worth fighting for, even when the fight feels hard. They are a couple seeking to build a legacy of healing, not just for themselves but for the generations to come. They understand that society's pressures have impacted their dynamic and are ready to dismantle those influences. They may arrive feeling disconnected, arguing in circles, or struggling to communicate honestly. But beneath the frustration is a deep love and a shared commitment to do things differently. My dream couple doesn't want me to take sides; they want me to help the relationship heal. They are open to learning new ways of communicating, understanding each other's trauma, and reconnecting on a deeper, more vulnerable level. They are a couple ready to practice radical compassion for both themselves and their partner."
