People often come to therapy feeling stuck in relationships, patterns of anxiety, or moments of transition that feel bigger than expected. Much of my work focuses on helping patients understand what’s keeping them there and how to move forward with greater clarity.

I’ve worked in community-based outpatient mental health settings and group private practice, providing individual and couples therapy. What I enjoyed most was building real, ongoing connections and supporting people through major transitions, relationship challenges, and identity shifts. These experiences shaped my ability to balance deeper emotional work with practical tools, while staying flexible and responsive to where someone is in the moment.

I work primarily with young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, relationship stress, attachment-related matters, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. My background in community mental health has also involved supporting individuals facing complex stressors and overlapping concerns. Many notice recurring patterns such as overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, or difficulty setting boundaries. With couples, sessions often focus on slowing things down, improving communication, and understanding the cycles partners find themselves repeating.

My approach is attachment-based and client-centered, with a strong focus on couples work using Gottman-informed techniques. I am Gottman Level 1 trained and use structured, evidence-based tools to help partners communicate more effectively, manage conflict, and reconnect emotionally. I also draw from CBT-style strategies for anxiety and rumination, along with trauma-informed and strengths-based methods.
