About
Counseling is collaborative, meaningful, and relationship-changing work. I specialize in couples counseling, helping partners slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and reconnect in ways that feel safer and more secure. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where both partners can feel heard and respected, even when things feel stuck. In addition to couples work, I support preteens, teens, and adults with concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and parenting. I also enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating the difficulties of religious trauma. I work from an attachment and family systems perspective, using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method interventions with couples, and attachment-based, evidence-based approaches with individuals. Across all my work, we’ll explore patterns and cycles, increase self-awareness, and develop practical skills that support emotional safety.
