You want to feel heard, connected, and cared for in your relationship. Conflict, miscommunication, and day-to-day stressors have left you feeling not only disconnected from your partner but from parts of yourself too. You long to get back to the place where your relationship felt supportive, warm, and fun. You're in the right place- you are not alone. It is possible to rebuild and create the vibrant relationship that you long for.

With professional training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, premarital counseling, and sex therapy, I help couples fight fairly, repair relationships, enhance emotional connections, improve intimacy, and increase empathy and validation using evidence-based skills.

As a lesbian therapist, I provide affirming care to LGBTQ+ folks. I help LGBTQ+ individuals heal the past traumas, anxieties, and attachment wounds that are impacting their relationships. Together, we can explore your identity, process past traumas, and cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and acceptance.
