How I Work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that we are all fellow travelers.
Using the Relational Life Therapy model, my approach is active, compassionate, and direct. Whether I’m working with individuals or couples, my goal is to help you uncover the deeper patterns shaping your relationships—and to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
I don’t believe in simply venting week after week. I offer feedback, teach practical skills, and guide you in doing the deeper inner work that real transformation requires. Our work will be challenging at times—but also empowering, respectful, and deeply human.
What it’s like to work with me:
With Individuals
You might not be coming in to talk about a relationship—but let’s be honest: how you relate to others, yourself, your history, your boundaries—that’s the thread.
In individual therapy with me, we look at the patterns you’ve carried for years. The ones that helped you survive but are now keeping you from thriving. You may be high-functioning, successful, even outwardly “fine,” but inside, there’s anxiety, burnout, or disconnection you can’t keep pushing through.
We’ll work with:
The parts of you that over-function, shut down, lash out, or perform.
The younger version of you—the adaptive child—who learned to stay safe at all costs.
The wise adult self inside you who’s ready to take the lead.
This isn’t surface-level work. We’ll name what’s true, call in compassion, and build the kind of self-trust and relational clarity that changes how you move through the world.
Come as you are. But come ready to do the work.
I’ll meet you there—with honesty, warmth, and no fluff.
With Couples
I work with couples who are ready to stop the cycle of blame, disconnection, or power struggles—and build something more conscious, intimate, and resilient.
Relational Life Therapy is different from traditional couples counseling. I’m not a referee. I’m an active participant in your process, helping each of you take ownership of your part in the dynamic while guiding you toward repair and reconnection.
In couples work, I help you:
Break out of stuck patterns and negative cycles
Communicate with honesty, clarity, and compassion
Rebuild trust and intimacy after ruptures or betrayal
Develop shared tools to handle conflict constructively
Learn what it means to be equal, empowered, and accountable partners
We’ll work quickly to identify what’s not working—and start practicing new ways of being together that foster connection, growth, and real relational integrity.
You’re worth the investment.

Therapy with me is…
telling you the truth, lovingly.
going beneath the surface to work with the real stuff.
learning how to show up with strength and softness.
doing deep work—but it’s work you won’t do alone.
Therapy with me is not…
a place to vent endlessly without change.
about blaming your yourself, your past, or a partner.
passive.
one-size-fits-all.
