Are you seeking to improve communication and connection with your partner? I know you're doing the best you can with the relationship tools you have. Some of those tools may not be effective; maybe your parents didn't model a great relationship, or your perceptions and judgments of your partner are flawed, or it's just hard to understand what they want. This leads to feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. What you want is relief from turmoil and strength to overcome challenges to gain a better understanding of yourself and your partner. I am here to provide a safe environment for you to say the hard things and hear your needs.

People grow, change, and heal, within the context of relationships. I am dedicated to providing you exceptional care by implementing effective evidence-based treatment that helps you accomplish your goals and be more connected while living a happier, healthier life. I use an integrative approach that melds Gottman Method, Emotion Focused Therapy, and CBT.
I enjoy working with people who want to improve their communication, connection, and friendships, as well as those seeking help moving through the decision-making process. After every appointment I want you to feel acceptance, validation, and hope. I welcome you to contact me so we can schedule an appointment for you.
