Communication, trust, and vulnerability are essential parts of a relationship. However, sometimes priorities and values get misaligned and couples find themselves growing apart instead of together. Our approach is realigning the relationship dynamics and restoring healthy and effective communication patterns to support vulnerable spaces and trust. In doing so, you may step into a healthy space with your partner. However, this change can only occur with vulnerability, respect, trust, and willingness to change.

In my psychotherapy practice, I create a safe, empathetic environment for individuals to explore and address their concerns. My approach to couples counseling emphasizes improving communication, understanding, and intimacy. I use evidence-based techniques to help couples resolve conflicts, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationship. Through tailored interventions, I guide partners in developing healthier dynamics and deeper connections, fostering mutual growth and lasting positive change in their relationship.
