About

You may be in a relationship that looks “fine” on the outside, yet you sense important questions underneath. You’re considering moving in together, having children, or making a long-term commitment and you want to do it thoughtfully, not reactively. Before becoming a therapist, I worked for many years as a family lawyer and mediator. That experience gave me a front-row seat to how relationships break down—not suddenly, but slowly, through unspoken expectations, unresolved conflicts, and emotional misunderstanding. I saw how often people wished they had asked different questions earlier. That insight is what led me to therapy. Today, I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand their relationship dynamics before making major life decisions. My work focuses on identifying patterns, clarifying needs, and creating space for honest conversations that are often avoided. My approach is insight-oriented and practical.
