Ready To Get Started?

I work with couples who feel stuck in the same painful arguments, where small disagreements turn into big fights or end in one partner shutting down. Many of these couples love each other but feel like they are speaking different languages, and they no longer know how to reach each other without things getting worse. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and CBT, I help couples see the pattern they are caught in, understand the hurt and fear underneath the anger or withdrawal, and practice new ways of turning toward each other.

I work with couples who are not necessarily fighting but feel more like roommates than partners. Affection, intimacy, and meaningful conversation have faded, and one or both partners feel lonely in the relationship. I help couples understand how they drifted apart, rebuild emotional safety, and create new moments of closeness and connection.

I work with couples who feel unheard, misunderstood, or criticized when they try to talk about what matters. I help each partner slow down, say what they actually feel and need, and truly hear the other person. We work on both what you say and what happens inside you when the conversation gets hard.

I work with couples who are trying to recover after an affair or another betrayal of trust. The partner who was hurt often feels shattered, anxious, and unsure whether they can trust again, while the other partner may feel guilt, shame, or hopelessness about repairing the damage. I help couples slow down, understand what the betrayal meant, and work toward repair, accountability, and rebuilt trust if both partners choose that path. The decision about the future of the relationship always belongs to the couple.

I work with engaged and seriously committed couples who want to build a strong foundation before marriage. We talk about expectations, family backgrounds, conflict styles, finances, children, and how each partner handles stress and closeness. Premarital counseling helps couples understand their patterns early, so they enter marriage with the tools to repair and reconnect when things get hard.

I work with couples who have recently had a baby or grown their family and feel like they have lost each other in the process. Sleep deprivation, new roles, unequal workloads, and less time together can turn loving partners into frustrated teammates. I help couples talk openly about the changes, share the load more fairly, and protect their connection while they care for their child.

New Parents as Individuals

I work with new moms and dads who feel lost in their new role, overwhelmed, "touched out," or unsure of who they are now. Many new parents feel guilty for missing their old life or for not feeling the way they expected to feel. I help new parents make room for all of those feelings, reconnect with themselves, and build a parenting identity that fits who they are.

Parents Navigating Identity and Balance

I work with parents of children of any age, including adult children, who feel the weight of trying to hold parenthood, marriage or partnership, work, and their own identity all at once. Moms may struggle with mom guilt and unrealistic expectations, and dads may feel pressure to provide while staying emotionally present. I help parents with self-worth, boundaries, and balance so they can feel like themselves again.

Co-Parenting After Divorce

I work with parents who are co-parenting after a divorce and struggling to communicate, agree on rules, or keep conflict away from their children. I help co-parents lower tension, communicate more clearly, and stay focused on what their children need. I also support parents individually as they adjust to life as a co-parent.

Co-Parenting When Parents Were Never Married

I work with parents who share a child but were never married and are working out how to raise that child together. These parents often face unclear expectations, different parenting styles, new partners, and old relationship hurts. I help parents build a working co-parenting relationship that puts their child's stability first.

Blended Families

I work with blended families and stepfamilies adjusting to new roles, new rules, and new relationships. Stepparents may feel shut out, children may feel torn between households, and couples may disagree about discipline and loyalty. I help blended families set realistic expectations, protect the couple relationship, and build trust between stepparents and children over time.

Family Conflict

I work with families dealing with parent-child conflict, including with teens and adult children, sibling conflict, tension with extended family, communication breakdowns, and unspoken expectations or generational patterns. Using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), I help each family member feel safe enough to be honest, and I help parents become a steady source of support. My hope is that families leave with more trust, more honesty, and a home that feels safer for everyone.

Major Life Transitions

I work with individuals, couples, and families going through major transitions such as divorce, remarriage, a new baby, or a relocation. Even positive changes can bring stress, grief, and uncertainty about who you are and where you fit. I help clients make sense of the change, adjust their roles and expectations, and find stability on the other side.

Professionals and Entrepreneurs

I work with professionals, executives, leaders, and business owners who carry heavy career pressure and feel it spilling into their relationships and well-being. Common concerns include workplace stress, burnout, imposter feelings, never feeling "good enough," difficulty switching off, and a partner or family who feels second to the work. With more than 15 years of experience in corporate leadership and entrepreneurship before becoming a therapist, I understand how ambition and organizational life shape family relationships. I help clients reduce stress, reconnect with what matters to them, and protect the relationships that matter most.

Women's Issues

I work with women navigating identity, self-worth, motherhood, relationships, career, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. Many women I work with feel depleted, unseen, or disconnected from their own needs after years of caring for others. I help women reconnect with themselves and make choices that reflect who they want to be.

Anxiety and Overthinking

I work with adults who live with constant worry, racing thoughts, and overthinking that makes it hard to rest, decide, or enjoy life. I use CBT to help clients notice and change anxious thinking patterns, and emotionally focused approaches to understand the fears underneath. The goal is not to never feel anxious, but to find steady peace even when life is uncertain.

Self-Esteem and Self-Worth

I work with clients who struggle with low self-esteem, harsh self-criticism, people-pleasing, or the feeling of never being enough. I help clients understand where these beliefs came from, challenge the thoughts that keep them stuck, and build a kinder, more stable sense of who they are.

Emotional Overwhelm and Emotional Healing

I work with clients who feel flooded by their emotions, numb, or weighed down by past experiences and difficult relationships. I help clients slow down, understand what their emotions are telling them, and heal old hurts so they can respond to life instead of only reacting to it.

Grief and Loss

I work with clients who are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other losses such as a divorce, a move, or a change in health or identity. Grief can feel lonely, confusing, and unpredictable. I offer a steady space to grieve, remember, and find a way to carry the loss forward.

Identity Struggles

I work with clients who feel unsure of who they are, especially after big changes such as parenthood, divorce, a career shift, or an empty nest. I help clients explore their values, needs, and goals so they can build a life and relationships that feel true to them.

Relationship and Attachment Issues

I work with individuals who notice painful patterns in their relationships, such as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting, pulling away when things get close, or choosing partners who are not good for them. Using Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), I help clients understand how their attachment history shapes their relationships today and practice new ways of connecting.

LGBTQ+ Individuals and Couples

I welcome LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and work to make therapy a safe, affirming place to bring your whole self. I offer the same individual, couples, and family services to LGBTQ+ clients, including support with relationships, identity, family acceptance, and life transitions.

Teens

While adults, couples, and families are my primary focus, I also see teens who want to work with me. I help teens with stress, self-worth, identity, and family conflict, and I involve parents in a way that respects the teen's privacy.
