No intimacy? Infidelity? Addiction? Relationships are complicated! We know how overwhelming and painful communication and other challenges that emerge in intimate relationships can be. We also know the potential for change, growth, and connection that is possible in working through these issues with professional support. We use techniques based on the cutting-edge of relationship and neuroscience research to help make sense of communication breakdowns and patterns of conflict. We are passionate about diversity and inclusion and provide care through a multicultural, attachment-based, gender-affirmative, and trauma-informed lens.

Relationships are my passion and focus. I counsel individuals and couples who are navigating conflict, communication issues, betrayal, infidelity, emotional detachment, depression and anxiety. I believe in the power of teamwork and relationships on our emotional and mental health. My therapy style is about connection, cooperation, and the healing of old wounds and past hurts that affect current behaviors. If you are stressed-out or not feeling like yourself I can help you bounce back from anxiety, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression, performance slumps and burnout.

Overwhelmed? Struggling with relationship issues? An Affair? Step-parenting? Do fights with your partner remain unresolved? Life is messy and complicated. Smart, capable and successful people get caught in painful relationship patterns that leave them feeling disconnected, emotionally and physically. Do you feel important to your partner? Strong relationships hinge on the answer to this question. Whether I am working with a couple, family, or individual, I want my clients to learn their relationship patterns--what drives them, and more importantly, how to change them.

Struggling with loss in a relationship? Betrayal? Abandonment? Shame? Living with or beyond illness? Maybe you are caring for a loved one who is chronically ill. We all get wounded. Seeking therapy is one way to care for yourself as you navigate these challenging experiences. Even in the most difficult times of life, we have an amazing capacity to grow, learn, connect, love, and to find meaning and purpose. This can be balanced with the uncomfortable feelings of grief, survivorship, loss of intimacy and sexuality. My deep compassion blended with fierce knowing, allows me to help people make significant changes.

I work with couples stuck in unhappy relationships who won't settle for staying unhappy. Instead they want loving, supportive, and fun relationships. I help couples: 1) Uncover what the real problem is, face it, and create the relationship they desire. 2) Stop hurting each-other, learn how to communicate well, and be there for each-other. 3) Face past hurts, heal from betrayals, and address fears so they can trust their partners. 4) Do what it takes to change, reconnect with their integrity. 5) Learn to appreciate each-others differences so they are deeply understood.

What if you could put your toes in the sand while working to overcome life’s challenges? What if it were possible to make your individual or couples therapy a time that you actually look forward to each week? Sometimes having an unbiased person to hear your story, stand with you during times of struggle, and empower you to live your best life can make all the difference. Whether you are a beach goer, animal lover, or prefer the traditional office my goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment, that offers cutting-edge treatment and comprehensive services.

Even strong, smart, successful people know when to utilize the help of experts. Maybe you’re not in crisis, just a couple in a “good enough” relationship, but some of the time things get painfully off track. Or an individual whose life seems to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, you’re hurting. Sometimes, your ways of “getting by” turn into habits that need to be amended. It’s not always clear how to go about initiating change and it helps to have an objective perspective. Counseling is a great way to improve your life. Together we will explore, identify, and rebuild habits and patterns to provide lasting change.

You are committed to your marriage. You’re not looking for an out, but this isn’t what either of you signed up for. You don’t feel happy in your relationship and fear it is slipping through your fingers. Perhaps… you feel more like roommates than lovers. You don’t feel you can be yourself; it’s so awkward at times. You feel lonely, unable to remember the last time you had a real conversation or even laughed together. Instead, romance has become transactional, like a task on the checklist. You even question whether you are still in love and sometimes find yourself wondering if this relationship was a mistake.

You are worthy of the support you seek. Although I don't yet know your story, I am confident you possess the unique strengths to achieve your goals: Healing is a remembering of those strengths. Experiencing loss and challenge in our lives is universal, yet these circumstances can leave us feeling disconnected, damaged, or discarded. You deserve to live a life you love, actively engaged as your most authentic, integrated self.
