I am taking new clients and have 10+ years of experience helping individuals and couples strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and find healthy ways to cope with stress. Together, we will work to identify the root causes of your challenges and develop practical strategies to address them. I want you to know that there is no judgment here. Therapy is a safe space where you can express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear. My goal is to create an atmosphere of trust, where you can open up and explore your thoughts and emotions openly and honestly.
Whether it's improving communication, finding better work-life balance, or reigniting the spark in your relationship, I will tailor our sessions to address your specific needs and goals. Our work together may be informed by evidence-based therapies such as Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy or Internal Family Systems Therapy.
I am excited to embark on this therapeutic journey with you. If you are ready to take the first step toward healing, growth, and stronger relationships, please reach out to me.
