the pathways to safety.

RECONNECT
with empathy and curiosity.
I am on the path with you. With 21 years of personal experience into relationship challenges and successes with my partner, I get the commitment and time it takes to work through conflict. Relationships are work.
When I am frustrated with my partner (who I love deeply),
these are the questions I ask myself:
Am I willing to let go of Judgment?
Am I willing to Own My Part?
Am I willing to Hear My Partner?
Am I willing to Soften and Repair?
I'm ready to help
I specialize in Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a powerful approach developed by Terry Real that combines honest, direct feedback with deep compassion and practical relational skill-building.
RLT clarifies stuck patterns, initiates healthy accountability, and builds deeper emotional intimacy grounded in mutual respect, and connection-seeking.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I incorporate parts work and neurobiological grounding tools to aid each partner’s ability to empathize and understand each other’s quick internal response for protection. We will work to regulate your nervous system and practice healthy boundaries to create more safety and trust.
Alongside regular weekly or biweekly sessions, I also offer a One-Day Couple Intensive—focused, immersive support designed for couples facing crisis or high-conflict challenges.
When defenses show up in session (and they will), I’ll help you navigate them—with less criticism, defensiveness, assumptions, or withdrawal.
Let’s break negative patterns so you can experience safe and respectful repair to heal the hurt, resentment or frustrations between you.
