the pathways to safety.

trust with skillful repair.
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 develop internal self-esteem, healthy boundaries and nervous system regulation skills.
When defenses show up in session (and they will), I’ll help you navigate them—with less criticism, blame, assumptions, or withdrawal.
We will address the negative patterns, resentments or frustrations between you so you can experience safer and respectful repair.
Please READ MY FAQ PAGE for more specifics about how I work with couples. Also, my Couples Counseling page will give you more background on my lens and treatment goals.
Alongside weekly or biweekly sessions, I also offer a One-Day Couple Intensive — a focused, immersive experiential designed for couples facing crisis or high-conflict challenges.
NOTE: I am private pay. I do not take insurance. In some cases, I can provide a superbill for you to pursue reimbursement from your insurance provider (or if using your HSA funds).
