My Ideal Client

Regardless of the challenges life throws at them, my clients consistently find my approach helpful, supportive, and effective. They feel seen as real individuals, not just clients, and recognize that my work is not just a job but a true calling. I believe that our lives and relationships can recover from dark and difficult times when we receive the support we need. I welcome everyone equally, inviting you to come as you are.

My Background and Approach

Whether your relationship is new or well-established, navigating life changes, or recovering from a betrayal such as an affair or addiction, patterns of distress and disconnection are evident and consistent. More importantly, the processes of repair and reconnection are equally clear and proven. As a highly trained and experience couples therapist, I know what makes a difference, and my training and experience will allow me to effectively help you I help couples recognize how negative patterns affect their relationships and emotional lives, reconnect with their own needs and those of their partners, and reclaim their emotional safe haven with each other. Relationship distress and recovery follow predictable patterns for understandable reasons. Imagine how you envision your relationship or marriage. How do you want to communicate? How do you want to be as a partner or spouse? I can help you reclaim your relationship and transform it into the partnership you've always desired.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am endlessly interested in a wide variety of evidence-supported theories about human life, love, health and approaches to healing and growth. I see personal and professional development as an ongoing process and an ethical imperative as a therapist and a Clinical Social Worker. My clients can be assured I will always strive to provide the best possible therapy experience that I can. I am an inclusive and culturally-responsive clinical social work practitioner who stays engaged in my own personal work around my own biases and impacts. Whether in couple therapy, marital therapy, family therapy, individual psychotherapy or supervision/consultation, I will take the needs of you, your identity and context, and your relationships seriously, and always aim to treat you with respect.
