About My Clients

Are you wondering how your relationship got to be where it is? Are you sick of arguing? Maybe you’re just tired of feeling distant - you wonder what the future together looks like? I look forward to teaching you tools to really listen to each other, ask for what you need from your partner, and feel like you matter. Together, we’ll uncover underlying reasons for the disconnection, including possible feelings of anxiety and depression helping you regain the love and trust you once had.

My Background and Approach

I can help you heal your relationships as you build a deeper understanding of yourself and each other. I complement an eclectic therapeutic style with deep intuition and keen insight for a direct, but sensitive approach guiding couples to see their individual communication patterns, so they can better understand how they show up in conflict and why, transforming arguments and difficult conversations into moments of self-awareness, growth and connection. Working together we’ll identify challenging relationship dynamics and create strategies for positive interaction, allowing you to rediscover intimacy and rekindle the passion you once felt for each other. My goal for you is that using these tools, you reinvigorate all of your relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Maintaining meaningful, connected relationships have always been a guiding principle in my life. I believe that all of them, whether romantic or otherwise, are what defines us and ultimately matter most. This personal belief was confirmed for me last year when Harvard University revealed the results of the longest study on happiness and well-being, which showed that the key to these things is our relationships. If we are connected to people we truly care about, and who genuinely care about us, together we can help each other grow to be our best selves. Not a perfect self, but a less flawed version. One where we accept ourselves and each other as we are, while constantly trying to be better. Whoever you are, whomever you love, everyone deserves to have access to sound guidance and expert information to strengthen their relationship. I would love to provide that for you. Shoot me a message so we can talk about it. All are welcome.
