I am a passionate therapist who lives to help couples strengthen their relationships and to help individuals find the sense of peace and calm they’ve been missing.

I became enthralled with the idea of helping couples back in 2013 during a college course where I read John Gottman’s book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. That sparked a path that took me from studying this book, to completing several trainings, and ultimately to graduate school. As I began practicing therapy, I realized that emotional safety must be prioritized in couples counseling. This led me to study, train, and practice Emotionally Focused Therapy, which has transformed my approach and helped many couples find that sweet spot in their relationships.

I don’t want you to just manage conflict – I want you to thrive in a home environment that feels safe, connected, and bursting at the seams with joy.

One unique aspect of my approach is utilizing couples therapy as a way to work through individual issues, including childhood trauma. While this does not always fit every client, I have witnessed powerful shifts for individuals who take this route. If you are not looking for therapy in a relational context, that’s okay too. I also use somatic EMDR to help process traumatic experiences. I focus deeply on the body’s physical experience of emotions, helping massage nervous system dysregulation out of the body so you can feel more grounded and free.

Getting a little more personal – I am married to my best friend, Sam, who I met in high school, and together we have three boys. Sam and I have been married for 15 years. We love hiking, traveling, discovering new experiences, and all things adventurous. While many expect marriage therapists to have perfect relationships, we have been on our own journey with therapy to build a stronger connection. I work hard to help you feel less alone in this process because I truly understand what it’s like.

If any of this sounds like what you’re looking for, I just might be the right therapist for you! Reach out and let’s set up a consultation.
