What sessions with me are like

Therapy is not about assigning fault or deciding who is “right.” It’s about helping you understand what’s happening internally for you so you have more choice in how you respond.

In our work together, you can expect:

• Clear structure and direction

• Space to slow things down when emotions run high

• Help naming what’s actually happening beneath the conflict

• Practical tools you can use outside of session

• A steady, grounded presence—even when things feel messy

I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck in repeating patterns: the same arguments, the same misunderstandings, the same emotional spirals. My role is to help you slow those moments down, understand what’s actually happening, and learn how to respond differently without blame, judgment, or taking sides.

Depending on your goals, I may integrate tools from DBT, EMDR-informed resourcing, EFT-informed attachment work, and nervous-system regulation strategies. These approaches help us work with emotional intensity, reactivity, and disconnection in a way that is practical and sustainable.

My work focuses on helping people build skills that honor individual boundaries while also allowing relationships to function and grow.

Progress often looks like shorter conflicts, clearer communication, and a growing ability to stay regulated during difficult moments.

About me

I’m a licensed professional counselor with a background in psychology and a strong emphasis on evidence-based, relationship-focused care. My work is informed by years of experience supporting clients through complex emotional and relational dynamics, especially when situations feel polarized, intense, or difficult to articulate.

I bring warmth, clarity, and steadiness into the room, while also being transparent and direct when it’s helpful. My goal is not to “fix” you or your relationship, but to help you understand what’s happening well enough to make meaningful, lasting changes.

Personal note

Outside of my clinical work, I value time in nature and the relationships that have shaped who I am. The dog pictured here was with me throughout my training and early years as a therapist, and his presence grounded me during some of the most formative parts of that journey. That sense of steadiness, patience, and care continues to inform how I show up in my work today.

Next steps

If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right step, or whether I’m the right fit, I invite you to schedule a brief consultation. We’ll talk about what’s been happening, what you’re hoping for, and whether working together makes sense.

Therapy logistics

Connection is at the heart of meaningful change. If you’re looking for a place to feel understood and supported, I invite you to reach out.

I’m a good fit if…

• You feel stuck in the same arguments or emotional loops

• One or both of you struggles with emotional reactivity or shutdown

• There has been a breach of trust and you want a structured path forward

• You want therapy that is warm, but also honest and skill-based

• You’re ready to look at patterns—not just symptoms

I may not be the best fit if you’re looking for a therapist to take sides or mediate ongoing deception without accountability.
