If our relationships make our lives feel meaningful, then why tf do they often feel so hard?!

We learn about what relationships “should” look like through family, culture, media, and lived experience. But because being human is complex, much of what we learn is shaped by imperfect models, problematic intergenerational patterns, and relational wounds. Then, as adults, we find ourselves repeating painful cycles of protection and avoidance - even with the people we deeply care - and this can leave us feeling misunderstood, disconnected, and lonely. Nobody wants that.

This is why my work revolves around helping people identify and break unhelpful relational patterns: so they can create more intentional, fulfilling relationships with themselves and others and find greater meaning in their lives.

Therapeutic Approach

My clients are motivated for change, are willing to self-reflect and take accountability for their actions, and are open to trying new things. I’m curious, compassionate, and direct. You can expect me to ask you questions you haven’t thought of (or have avoided), share evidence-based theories and tools, and show up with a sense of humor - because therapy doesn’t have to be serious all the time!

In our work, we’ll explore who and what is most important to you, map out patterns that are keeping you stuck, and design a life for you that’s more aligned with your values. My hope is that - through our work - you’ll feel supported and challenged, and will discover ways to feel more grounded, connected, and intentional in your relationships with yourself and others.

My work is rooted in humanistic, relational, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approaches. With couples or multi-partnered folks, I also draw on the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy and Prepare/Enrich, an approach designed for premarital couples. Across all of my work, I maintain a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and multicultural lens, and I am affirming of LGBTQ+, consensually non-monogamous (CNM), and kink-identified clients.
