I believe that the best path to happiness and fulfillment is through human connection. We are relational beings. We smile more and laugh harder when our relationships are full of trust, affection, and play. I am passionate about helping couples find and restore these elements in their day-to-day lives.

If you choose to work with me, be prepared to both laugh and cry—sometimes in the same session. I want couples to leave my office feeling stronger and more connected, so I will be helping you to let your “walls” down and practice vulnerability.

Change happens when we feel seen, heard, and valued and when we learn to do the same for others. I help couples and individuals to better do this not only for their partners, but for themselves as well.


Special Focus Areas


Betrayal Trauma and Affair Recovery

I help couples and individuals who have been devastated by betrayal in their relationships. The immediate aftermath of discovery is disorienting and isolating. If you are a couple hoping to save your relationship after sexual, emotional, digital, or financial infidelity, I can guide you back toward trust and back toward one another. If you are an individual partner on either side of the betrayal, I will keep you on the right path toward healing yourself and, if you choose, healing your relationship.

Couples in Technology and Engineering

I work with couples of all backgrounds. One of my focus areas is where one or both partners works in technology or engineering. I know that working with data, numbers, and spreadsheets all day can sometimes take a toll on how you talk about and show emotions. I’m here to help coach, translate, and build skills for deeper emotional connection.

Givers

Sometimes labeled “codependent,” givers tend to be heroes in their families, friend groups, and workplaces. Do you lose sleep wondering how loved ones and coworkers would function without you? Maybe you avoid saying “no” because the fear of letting others down leaves you with a pit in your stomach. Many givers feel guilty or selfish when they take time for themselves, Believe it or not, learning to put yourself first makes it possible to be MORE helpful to those you love.
