My background includes crisis intervention, individual, family, and group therapy, as well as supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.

Relationships can change over time—but feeling disconnected doesn't have to be the end of the story.

I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create healthier, more connected relationships. I have a particular interest in supporting people in long-term relationships who are navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, changes in intimacy, or the feeling that they’ve become more like roommates than partners.

Therapy can be a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore self-worth, communication, emotional and physical intimacy, boundaries, conflict patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. We’ll also look at how past experiences and beliefs about yourself may influence the way you communicate, connect, set boundaries, or respond when you feel hurt or misunderstood.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate CBT, mindfulness, acceptance-based approaches, and trauma-informed therapy to help you develop greater self-awareness and the tools to create meaningful change.

You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, with your partner, and with the kind of relationship you want to create.
