What's My Approach to Therapy?
When I sit with a couple, I see two people who love each other deeply but have lost their way of feeling connected. I understand how painful it can be to keep circling the same arguments, wanting closeness, yet feeling stuck in patterns that create distance. I know how much courage it takes to reach out for help when you are exhausted, hurting, or afraid of losing what matters most.
In my work, I focus on slowing down these reactive cycles so that each partner can feel seen and understood. I use emotionally focused therapy to help couples strengthen their bond, internal family systems to explore the inner parts that protect and react, and mindfulness practices to create calm, presence, and clarity in difficult moments.
My role is to hold a compassionate and steady space where both partners can soften, speak honestly, and rediscover the safety that allows love to grow again. I believe that even when a relationship feels lost, there is always a path back to connection.
It is an honor to walk alongside couples as they learn to communicate with openness, express their needs with courage, and reconnect with the deeper love and meaning they have been longing for.
My Practice & Services
I believe wisdom is earned through the experiences we live, and the truths we uncover along the way. My passion for helping couples grew from a lifelong curiosity about what turns love into disconnection, and how we can find our way back to one another.
Being married for nearly three decades, and raising three children into adulthood, has been one of my greatest teachers. My own journey through relational challenges and growth inspired me to support others in finding healing, understanding, and emotional safety.
I bring both professional training and lived experience to my work. My background includes graduate studies in marriage and family counseling, and extensive training in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based practices. I also draw from approaches such as Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and nonviolent communication.
These influences, along with years of walking beside couples in their most tender moments, have shaped a practice that is compassionate, experiential, and deeply grounded in hope. I am dedicated to helping partners slow down, communicate with authenticity, and rebuild the closeness they long for.
