I am passionate about helping couples craft deeply nourishing and caring relationships. In our meetings we learn the skills required for loving another person well: good communication, problem solving and repair. We explore what it means for each person to feel loved and cared for and work toward a dance that honors each members unique preferences. I also help couples have important conversations about crafting a mutually satisfying shared vision of what a meaningful life is as romantic partners, parents and community members. We work on healing from painful past ruptures such as infidelity, substance use and frequent fighting.

Walking through the world with minoritized identities can wear you down. You may feel invisible after years of bridging the chasm between family of origin and chosen family. You may tire of explaining your pronouns or grieve the stigma your queer or non-monogamous relationships face. You may sting from the specific pain of racial discrimination in trusted spaces or not being able to express yourself authentically in your religious community. You may also be feeling anxious, alone, or down in ways unrelated to your identities, but want a therapist equipped to honor these parts of you as you embark on the vulnerable work of change.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.
