I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for couples where we collaboratively identify and work through the pain points in your relationship, utilizing new skills, experiences, and ways of being and rebuilding trust and emotional safety along the way.
I help with a full range of struggles and provide a non-pathologizing approach to work through issues coming up between you, so that you may grow the joy and feel the security of your bond.
I come from higher education and the arts and offer a respectful, attuned, direct approach. It takes courage to begin the counseling journey, and I welcome setting up a free consultation so you may ask questions and get a sense of my approach and if it feels like a good fit for your current needs. I welcome all communities.
