Your Relationship Deserves Deeper Connection
I offer couples therapy to help you move from endless cycles of pain to deeper connection.
Your relationship is often like two ships passing in the night. You try to communicate, but every attempt leaves you feeling lost and alone. Or worse, when you try to share your feelings, it becomes a repetitive spiral of overwhelming arguments.
You both deserve to be seen, heard and loved. I can help you move from endless cycles of pain into deeper trust and connection.
I help couples find healing from painful patterns of communcation. Through couples therapy, you can learn to navigate difficult conversations with empathy, engage in healthy arguments, and build a trusting, flourishing relationship.
I’ll guide you through a structure process called Restoration Therapy, which has been shown to help couples with unhealthy communication to break their patterns. You will foster awareness of unhealthy patterns and learn productive communication.
Your relationship is worth the investment. Reach out today to schedule a call and take the first step toward the connection you both deserve.

How much do sessions cost?
My fee is $175/session for 45 minute individual sessions, $225 for 60 min couples sessions. I occasionally can accommodate sliding scale appointments. I offer super bills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Call our care coordinator with any questions about fee.
What kinds of problems do you help with?
I help couples move through spaces of high reactivity into meaningful connection with each other. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel more connected to themselves and others.
What do you like about being a therapist?
I believe that when the client and therapist are bringing their full self into the conversation, healing is just around the corner. I also love seeing the little spark in each person that makes us all human. We each have our own unique way of connecting with the world, and I love exploring it!
