I am an experienced psychotherapist who helps couples and parents restore greater connection, increased intimacy, and more joy in their relationship. Individuals who work with me are seeking new or better relationships. I believe in human connection and aim to raise the bar of relationship happiness for all my clients. In my practice, I am honored to be part of vulnerable conversations where partners can be honest and authentic. When my clients get to this place, the work can happen. I have had struggles in relationships in the past so I know this can be difficult. And, I also know how great it can be to finally be able to say what needs to be said, even if you worry it's too hard. I guide partners to be real with each other with kindness and respect, to be self accountable, and to ask for what is needed. Couples I work with appreciate my straightforward, fearless, and gentle style. Clients who work with me very quickly feel relaxed and confident that I will listen and understand each partner. They know I will not take sides and that their own experiences are valued and discussed. My clients feel supported and safe. This approach allows us to be curious together, gain insights, and learn new ways of relating.
