My work is especially focused on…
People often reach out when something important feels painful, stuck, or uncertain, and they want a more grounded way forward.
Betrayal and broken trust
I work with couples dealing with betrayal, secrecy, broken trust, and the painful aftermath that can follow.
Conflict and disconnection
I help couples slow down painful patterns, understand what keeps happening, and begin moving toward better communication and connection.
Trauma and unresolved distress
I offer individual counseling and EMDR therapy for people working through distress, painful experiences, and emotional patterns that still feel stuck.
How I work
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded. I care about helping people move toward real change without getting lost in vague conversations or staying stuck in the same painful loop.
Structured
I use clear frameworks to help make the work more focused, practical, and useful.
Relational
I pay close attention to patterns, emotional pain, trust, and what is happening in the relationship or nervous system in real time.
Grounded
I pay close attention to patterns, emotional pain, trust, and what is happening in the relationship or nervous system in real time.
Training and experience
My work is shaped by ongoing training in both couples counseling and trauma-informed individual therapy.

Why this work matters to me
I care deeply about helping people find a better way through pain that feels repetitive, confusing, or overwhelming. Whether I am working with a couple in distress or an individual carrying unresolved pain, I want the work to help create more clarity, honesty, and possibility.
I am especially drawn to work that helps people move beyond surface-level understanding and into the deeper changes that can happen through structure, reflection, courage, and sustained effort.
