My areas of focus
-
Your younger self had it all planned; but now?
You pour yourself into your family, your job, and everyone who needs you and sometimes it just feels heavy. You aren’t even sure you know what it is.
You’ve learned to keep things together.
To manage, deal, hold on tightly…
But underneath this façade you’ve carefully built, there’s more going on than you know how to face alone.
It shows up in every part of your life—at work, in your relationships, in the way you speak to yourself—but the issues you’re dealing with seem like such a tangled mess that you’re not sure where to even start. Maybe you have tried therapy before and have been putting off trying again, because the idea of being told to “just breathe and count to 10” has the opposite of a calming effect.
Maybe beneath the surface, there’s a heaviness that you’ve gotten used to.
The roles you play in relationships, the messages you absorbed, the ways you learned to protect yourself—they didn’t come from nowhere. My role is to help you see those patterns in real time, so you can start making different choices; healthy choices, ones you actually want - instead of repeating the same cycles you’ve already exhausted.

This isn’t about what is wrong with you - it’s about what happened to you.
You have powerful survival strategies that have worked really hard at getting you here. They are brilliant and yet…what used to work is now, well - maladaptive.
You might not think your past matters—you can’t change it, so why bother revisiting it? Or it’s too painful to explore - it’s actually too painful not to.
The truth is, it’s showing up in your relationships, your decisions, and the way you see yourself.
We’ll look at where these patterns started so you can start healing, recalibrating and reclaiming your life.
On your terms.
If you are feeling that maybe it’s time to find your footing again and I’m here to help you do just that.

Couples therapy isn’t just for crisis. It’s for the how did we get here and the what do we do now—it’s for the ones navigating kids, sex and intimacy, or trust that’s been broken, betrayed or lost.
It’s for the partners who want a strong foundation, and the ones who simply want more play, more communication, or more joy. The ones ready to stop letting the past determine what lies ahead, and the ones barely hanging on - or ready to let go.
It’s about communicating in a way that you both actually hear each other - and hold that space.
It’s for you both.
And the quiet hope inside that things could feel different.
Relationships shape the way you see yourself and the world, and sometimes, without realizing it, you carry old wounds into new connections. In therapy, we’ll take a close look at the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships—whether it’s pushing people away, struggling with trust, or feeling like you’re always bracing for impact.
We’ll explore where this comes from, especially the relationships that shaped you early on, and start untangling what’s helping you and what’s holding you both back.
All couples of all identities and lifestyles warmly welcomed
YOU’RE LIVING LIFE IN SURVIVAL MODE, AND IT’S exhausting.
I hear you. This may be your first or 50th time in therapy.
Maybe it hasn’t worked and maybe it’s taking you a while to give this another go.
The hypervigilance, the shutdown, the chronic anxiety, the people-pleasing—these aren't character flaws. They're protective strategies you have developed to keep you going.
And they worked. You're here.
But survival strategies that once protected you, can become prisons.
If you want to understand what happened and what to do, all you have to do is show up.
I’ll meet you there.
here you can expect to:
Reclaim what you want; eliminate the self-defeating noise.
Shut down that bullshit inner critic that never lets up.
Stop bracing for impact in your relationships.
Stop using your outward success as the only gauge for your worth - (spoiler alert, it’s faulty)
Engage all the parts of you - how you got here and what to do now.
Embrace, redefine, or untether from that relationship.
Finally - unburden what’s not yours to carry and claim what is.
