I specialize in helping all types of couples, regardless of relationship structure, ethnicity, religion, or background. With extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples rebuild trust, enhance communication, and deepen emotional connection. EFT is a research-based approach that addresses negative patterns and fosters vulnerability, creating emotional safety.

My dual master's in Marriage and Family Therapy focuses on improving the quality of relationships. I work with couples and families every day to build more connected, fun, and safe relationships. By using proven approaches like EFT and the Gottman Method, I help you strengthen bonds, address challenges, and create lasting, meaningful change in your relationships.

As an LMFT, I help families navigate conflict, strengthen communication, and rebuild trust. Using EFT and the Gottman Method, I create a space to mend and repair some of our most important relationships—family.

My focus is on helping clients invest in their relationships by fostering more connection, better communication, and increased empathy and understanding.

By treating the system as a whole, I can remain an open, empathic listener while creating lasting, positive change for everyone involved.

The Gottmans can predict with 97% accuracy whether two people will stay together for a lifetime. My training in the Gottman Method allows me to teach couples simple yet highly effective tools to strengthen their relationship “bank account.” By helping couples invest more than they withdraw, we work on building a solid foundation of trust, respect, and connection. These everyday strategies help couples create lasting bonds and navigate challenges with confidence and love.
