Discover how to strengthen your relationships
I believe my job is to create a safe, accepting space where you feel empowered to be your authentic, vulnerable self and communicate honestly, so that you can strengthen your relationships. Whether working on self-connection or relationships with loved ones, I am here to support and guide you as you build the relationships you truly desire.
About
I have always been interested in relationship dynamics and conflict resolution because I believe that even the deepest of hurts can be resolved with peace and reconciliation. Part of that resolution comes from identifying a relationship’s ‘system.’ Every relationship dynamic has these systems that explain the things we love and don’t love about ourselves and those we have relationships with. I find great joy in helping couples and families understand their ‘relationship system’ and teaching them corrective behaviors to build a stronger emotional bond.
I am Gottman Level 1 certified and have completed EFT Core Skills and an EFT Externship. I use knowledge from these trainings, my schooling, and personal experience to support couples and families who are dissatisfied in their emotional and intimate connections. In addition to these modalities, I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individual clients identify and reframe their thoughts in attempts to repair and restore their relationship with themselves and others.

Family therapy is best for parents and children, of any age, who are in conflict or would like to make changes to their family dynamic. It’s also suitable for families with a young child who has problematic behaviors, or a disorder, that affects the entire family. Although these are the primary reasons clients seek family, I welcome clients for any reason they see fit.

As an out-of-network provider, I prioritize flexibility, privacy, and individualized care for all of my clients. Insurance companies typically do not cover couples or family therapy unless one person has a diagnosis that requires the other's involvement. This restriction can prevent people from accessing the relationship support they need. Additionally, using insurance means a mental health diagnosis becomes part of a client’s medical record, which could impact future coverage or employment. By paying privately, clients maintain full control and privacy over their personal health information.
Working outside of insurance also allows clients to choose a therapist with whom they feel most comfortable, without needing approval from their insurance company. Clients can also determine their own pace for healing without insurance dictating the duration. I believe therapy should be guided by the client’s needs, not by insurance policies. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where individuals, couples, and families can focus on meaningful, lasting change with total control and privacy.
