Experienced Couple & Family Therapist

"Our relationships are the mirror through which we experience ourselves."

Relationships can be both our greatest source of joy and our deepest source of pain.

If you’re here, you may be feeling the ache of distance, betrayal, or disconnection with the people who matter most. I want you to know—you don’t have to navigate this alone.

As a specialist in couple and family therapy, I help couples heal after infidelity, rebuild trust, and strengthen intimacy so their relationship can thrive again.

I also guide individuals and families in reconnecting with their family of origin as adults, finding new ways to heal old wounds and create healthier patterns.

My passion is helping people move from disconnection to closeness, from pain to healing, and from surviving to truly thriving in their relationships.

Here is a bit more about how I approach this work.

When we’re in pain — especially in our relationships — it’s easy to feel like something is wrong with us. But I don’t start by looking for what’s “broken.” Instead, I look at the bigger picture of what’s happening in your life, your relationships, and your environment.

I work from a systemic, relational perspective — which means I don’t just focus on the individual in isolation. I pay close attention to the patterns, dynamics, and experiences that shape how you connect with others and how others connect with you. This approach helps us make sense of the disconnection, the conflict, or the silence in ways that go deeper than blame or quick fixes.

While I don’t focus heavily on diagnoses, I don’t ignore important factors like biology, trauma history, or mental health. I take a whole-person approach, drawing from the biopsychosocial model — meaning I consider how your body, mind, relationships, and lived experiences all influence your well-being.

You’re not a problem to be fixed. You’re a person — or a couple, or a family — with a story. And I’m here to help you make sense of that story, together.

Before opening this private practice, I worked in many different settings: (1) community mental health seeing clients of various presenting issues and various different ages, (2) community mental health focusing on sexual assault survivors, (3) several different private practices focusing primarily on couples and families, (4) in-home/in-community therapy working with children and their families. Before working as a clinician, I also worked as a counselor at a domestic violence agency, working primarily with victims of domestic violence.
