I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds into an affirming, compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow. Together, we’ll look beyond today’s challenges to uncover the deeper meaning within your experiences. I want my clients to know they deserve more—more love, more joy, and more opportunities to thrive in life. My work is guided by the belief that meaning-making is central to healing and growth. My therapeutic practice is trauma-informed and rooted in meaning-making and values-based practices, supported by evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques. Couples and Relationships From newly committed relationships to premarital and long-term partnerships, my work supports couples in going beyond the day-to-day challenges, exploring the deeper patterns, unmet needs, and emotional wounds that shape how you relate to one another. Healthy relationships honor both individuality and togetherness, and our work focuses on understanding yourself, your partner, and your relationship—three paths leading to the heart of your emotional bond. Together, we’ll strengthen communication, nurture understanding, and create space for both of you to feel seen and heard. When there is uncertainty about the path ahead, we explore it together with honesty and care, helping you find clarity and a way forward that honors you both.
