I work with individuals and couples seeking meaningful change, greater emotional balance, and stronger relationships. I provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients can better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and build practical skills that translate into everyday life and work. Through this process, clients often experience improved well-being, clearer communication, and increased confidence that positively impacts both their personal lives and professional success.
The first session focuses on understanding what’s bringing you in, whether as an individual or a couple, and what you hope will feel different. We’ll begin building a sense of safety and connection while exploring the patterns, concerns, and goals that matter most to you. This is also a time to get a feel for working together, ask questions, and start creating a foundation for meaningful, collaborative work.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space and to attune to both individual and relational dynamics. I help clients feel seen and understood while gently guiding them toward deeper insight and meaningful change. I balance warmth with structure, supporting clients in exploring patterns, improving communication, and building more secure, fulfilling connections with themselves and others.
I am best positioned to serve individuals and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and communication struggles. My clients are often feeling stuck in patterns of disconnection, conflict, or uncertainty, and are looking for a space where they can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. I work well with those who are open to self-reflection and curious about their emotional experiences, attachment patterns, and relational dynamics. This includes clients who may be dealing with differences in desire, rebuilding trust after ruptures, exploring sexual concerns, or trying to reconnect after periods of distance. I also support individuals who want to better understand themselves in relationships, build confidence in expressing their needs, and develop healthier ways of relating. Many of the people I work with value growth and are motivated to create meaningful change, even if they feel unsure where to start. Whether the goal is to strengthen a relationship, improve communication, or develop a more fulfilling connection with oneself or a partner, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
Sex Therapy
I hold a certificate in Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan, which informs my inclusive, evidence-based approach to working with individuals and couples around intimacy, desire, and sexual well-being. I integrate this training into therapy by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns, address barriers, and strengthen connection. My work is grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and helping clients build a more fulfilling and authentic relationship with themselves and their partners.
Attachment-based
I work from an attachment-based approach, supported by clinical experience, to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns in emotions, relationships, and self-worth. Therapy focuses on building safety, trust, and insight within the therapeutic relationship while gently exploring these patterns together. Clients often find this approach helps them feel more secure, deepen connections, and respond to themselves and others with greater compassion.
Strength-Based
I use a strengths-based approach to support individuals and couples in recognizing their existing resilience, skills, and values. Therapy focuses on building upon what is already working while identifying practical ways to move through challenges. Individuals and couples often find this approach empowering, helping them feel more confident, capable, and aligned with their goals.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I incorporate principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy to help individuals and couples better understand and connect with their emotions as meaningful signals rather than problems to fix. Our work focuses on identifying emotional patterns and creating a safe space to experience and express feelings more fully. Individuals and couples often find this approach supports deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and more authentic connection in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based approach I’ve received multiple specialized trainings in and have applied extensively in my work as a therapist. I collaborate closely with clients to track progress and adjust treatment in a way that feels clear, supportive, and goal-focused. Over time, I’ve seen CBT help clients better understand their thoughts, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
