With over 14 years of experience, I support individuals, couples, and polycules in creating change that feels grounded, lasting, and meaningful. My approach is holistic and relational — attending to emotional, sexual, psychological, and social wellbeing. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I help strengthen the foundation that allows for deeper connection, fulfillment, and resilience.

What does couples therapy with me look like? We explore where you’ve been, where you are now, and where you want to go together. I draw from specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Sensate Focus — powerful tools for strengthening communication, intimacy, and trust. Whether you’re healing after betrayal or wanting to deepen connection, I help guide couples toward relationships that feel authentic and secure.

I’m also passionate about supporting men in reconnecting with themselves, navigating relationship roles, and cultivating emotional and sexual health. For clients experiencing distress related to desire, sexual functioning, or compulsive behaviors, I offer informed, non-shaming support tailored to your values and goals.

Individual therapy with me is collaborative and strengths-based. If you’ve ever wondered, “Can therapy really help me feel more connected?” — the answer is yes. Let’s create space for insight, healing, and lasting growth.
