About My Clients

I work best with couples, families, and individuals who are open to reflection and want to understand themselves in the broader context of their relationships, histories, and environments. I have a deep appreciation for nuance, complexity, and emotional depth. I especially enjoy working with adult children navigating family dynamics, partners seeking clarity and connection, and anyone curious about breaking long-standing patterns.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in working with couples and families, including nontraditional and blended systems, who are navigating disconnection, tension, or transition. My approach is active, emotionally attuned, and grounded in systems thinking. Whether you’re part of a long-term partnership, in an open or evolving relationship, or part of a family structure that doesn’t fit the mold, I help you slow down reactive cycles, explore deeper meanings, and move toward more intentional connection. I bring a strong appreciation for nuance and relational complexity, creating a space where insight leads to real, sustained change. Together, we clarify roles, repair ruptures, and build relationships that feel more aligned, respectful, and sustainable - on your terms.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m deeply invested in relational ethics and the subtle ways power, privilege, and unspoken roles shape how we relate to one another. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens in spaces where people feel emotionally safe, seen, and respected. I’m especially attuned to the impact of intergenerational patterns, cultural context, and systemic influences within relationships. I care about helping people examine not just what’s happening, but why - and how it reflects deeper dynamics of protection, avoidance, and unspoken need. I support LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals and families, and I strive to create a therapeutic space that is thoughtful, non-pathologizing, and grounded in integrity. I also honor the role of spirituality in people’s lives - whether rooted in tradition or expressed more personally - as a powerful source of resilience, meaning, and connection. I see therapy as a co-created process that invites accountability, reflection, and meaningful change without shame.
