My Journey

I fell in love with the field of psychology during my senior year of high school.  I was able to take courses at my local university and decided to take Psychology 101.  What resonated with me most were the theories that helped to explain human behavior.  You see, I was the child who always asked "Why?"  Studying human behavior and the factors that contribute to and get in the way of healthy relationships fit right with my personality and area of passion. I have had the great privilege and honor to share in a number of clients' journeys.  

When We Work Together

Clients often tell me they feel gently guided, never rushed or “fixed.” I’m steady, attuned, and warm; but I’m also direct and grounded in the reality of what change takes. I’ll ask thoughtful questions. I’ll help you slow down, connect dots, and name emotions that may have gone unspoken for years. And I’ll hold space when things are hard, because I know healing is tender and courageous work.

My Areas of Specialty

Individual Therapy: Coming Home to Yourself

In individual therapy, I help you sort through emotional clutter and reconnect with your inner voice. Whether you're processing anxiety, navigating a life transition, healing from trauma, or just feeling stuck, I’ll meet you exactly where you are.

Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling, why you’re feeling it, and how you want to move forward; with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

Couples Therapy: Rebuilding Trust and Connection

Relationships can bring out the most vulnerable parts of us, and that’s where meaningful growth begins. In couples therapy, I work with you and your partner to identify patterns that keep you disconnected, and to build communication that truly lands.

I draw from both the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, using tools that support emotional safety, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. Whether you're feeling distant, stuck in conflict, or healing from betrayal, this is a space for repair and renewal.

Family Therapy: Creating Connection That Heals

Families come to me when communication has broken down, or when a change has shifted the dynamic. I help families understand the emotional needs underneath the surface, and how each person’s experience shapes the whole system.

I’m not here to take sides, I’m here to help you all speak, listen, and feel heard in new ways. Whether it’s parenting struggles, teen transitions, or multigenerational tension, we work together to restore connection and create a more emotionally safe home.

Sex Therapy: Honoring Your Intimate Self

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I support individuals and couples in exploring their sexuality with openness, curiosity, and respect. Sex therapy with me is never clinical or cold, it’s a collaborative process where we unpack your questions, desires, and concerns in a space that feels affirming and shame-free.

I work with issues such as low desire, arousal challenges, communication around sex, sexual pain, and identity exploration. I believe your sexual self deserves the same care and attention as any other part of you. Here, nothing about you is “too much” or “too broken.”

If You're Wondering What's It Like To Start

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re not sure what to expect. What I can promise is that I’ll meet you as a human being first. You’ll never be reduced to a diagnosis or a role. You’ll be met with presence, empathy, and curiosity.

I’m here to walk alongside you with intention, warmth, and integrity. We’ll take the work seriously, but we won’t forget that laughter, lightness, and hope are part of the process too.

Although many of my clients initially come to treatment in extreme distress, they are generally very invested in being successful in all aspects of their lives, including their romantic and interpersonal relationships. As a result, they tend to be open to self exploration and hold themselves accountable for their involvement and commitment to treatment. My clients are typically willing to emotionally, cognitively, and financially invest in the treatment process.  They also tend to value and seek out specialists with advanced training.
