Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Practical support for people ready to stop repeating harmful patterns and start building stronger connections.
You Know That Fight You've Had Seventeen Times?
What about that one thing you keep doing in your relationship even though you swore last time you'd never do it again?
Maybe you're exhausted from feeling misunderstood. Maybe you and your partner have stopped talking altogether, or you're saying things you immediately regret.
Maybe you're just tired of feeling disconnected from yourself and the people who matter most.
If any of that sounds familiar, I can help. We'll work together to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and build actual skills to change them.
My goal is to help you achieve the emotional safety and connection you deserve. I see folks in individual, couples, and group therapy settings.
What Therapy With Me is Like:
We always start with understanding where you came from.
The patterns you're stuck in usually have roots in the family you came from, your past relationships, and the messages you got about emotions and connection growing up.
As I like to say, shit flows downhill.
Then, we'll build new skills. Together, we'll develop actual tools you can use when you're in the middle of a fight, feeling disconnected, or wondering how to bring up the hard stuff without everything falling apart.
I'm not a passive therapist. I'll ask tough questions (with lots of empathy attached). I'll point out patterns you might not see. I'll give you real, actionable strategies for doing things differently.
Understanding is great, but taking action is what actually changes your life.
I Can Help You With These Concerns (And Others):
Communication (which means feeling more understood)
Conflict Resolution
Loss of Emotional Connection
Mismatched Sexual Desire
Sexual Dysfunction
Destructive Sexual Behaviors
Anxiety & Depression Management
Workplace Challenges
Relationship Dissolution
Life Transitions (marriage, parenting, retirement)
A Note on Shame And Judgement:
No matter how embarrassed you are about what you're facing or how ashamed you feel about past behavior, I can assure you: I will not be shocked, and I will not judge you.
I recognize that none of us operates in a vacuum.
Our circumstances and relationships impact our decisions. What feels overwhelming right now can become part of your past if we do the necessary work together.
My focus is on support, encouragement, and helping you discover more about yourself, your relationships, and your patterns.
Sessions are available in-person and via telehealth.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is for anyone who wants to connect with others who are facing similar life challenges.
Maybe you feel isolated, like no one else gets what you're going through. Maybe you're wrapping up individual therapy but want to maintain accountability and connection.
In these small groups (up to 6 people), you'll work with others who understand what you're experiencing.
I facilitate the group, providing structure and guidance while members support each other in a confidential setting.
Groups meet every other week. At times we focus on a specific theme. Members practice honesty and vulnerability, receive feedback, and build self-understanding and stronger interpersonal skills.
How Group Therapy Works:
Shared Experience: Members face similar challenges—relationship issues, sexual concerns, trauma, depression—which creates immediate connection and reduces isolation.
Therapist Guidance: I provide structure, teach skills, and ensure a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone.
Mutual Support: Members offer each other ideas, encouragement, and accountability, acting as a sounding board for one another.
Skill Development: You'll learn to express yourself, understand others, and practice new behaviors in real-time.
Role Modeling: Seeing others successfully manage challenges provides hope and demonstrates new ways to cope.
Confidentiality: What's shared in the group stays in the group.
All groups are "open," which means members can join or leave at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If the struggles you're facing feel personal (like anxiety, depression, past trauma, or figuring out who you are) individual therapy is probably the right fit. If the issues are showing up primarily in your relationship (communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, disconnection) couples therapy might make more sense.
That said, sometimes both are helpful. Many people start with individual therapy to work on their own patterns, then bring their partner in for couples work. We can figure out the best starting point together during your free consultation.
-
Sex therapy is specialized work focused on sexual health, intimacy, desire discrepancies, and sexual dysfunction. As a Certified Sex Therapist, I'm trained to address these concerns with expertise and zero shame.
While regular couples therapy might touch on sexual issues, sex therapy goes deeper. We talk openly about what's working, what's not, and how to build the intimacy you want. Sex therapy can be part of couples therapy or done individually.
-
Group therapy brings together a small group (up to 6 people) facing similar challenges. I facilitate the group, providing structure and guidance while members support each other in a confidential setting. Groups meet every other week.
It's a great fit if you're feeling isolated in your struggles, want to hear how others handle similar issues, or are wrapping up individual therapy and want to maintain accountability. All groups are "open," meaning you can join or leave at any time.
-
Your first session (the intake) is 75 minutes. We'll talk about what brought you in, what you're hoping to change, and your history, because understanding where you came from helps us figure out why you're stuck now.
For couples, I typically do individual intake sessions with each person first (also 75 minutes each). This gives me a fuller picture of the situation and helps both partners feel heard. After that, we'll work together to create a plan that makes sense for you.
-
It depends on what you're working on and your goals. Some people see significant improvement in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term work.
I don't believe in keeping you in therapy forever. We'll work together to determine what you need and when you're ready to wrap up or move to less frequent sessions.
-
I work with hesitant partners all the time, and honestly, it's pretty common. One person is ready to dive in, the other thinks therapy means the relationship is failing (or that they're going to get blamed for everything).
As your therapist, I don't take sides. I'm not here to gang up on anyone. I'll call out both partners fairly, and I work hard to understand where each person is coming from. That might include the pressures of demanding jobs, different communication styles, and the patterns you both bring from your past.
Many of my clients have told me their hesitant partner ended up loving therapy. We can start with a free consultation so your partner can see what working with me is actually like before committing.
