About

I have experience working with both heterosexual and LGBTQ+ couples. I enjoy supporting folks around pre-martial work, family planning & parenting, grief/loss, navigating and managing ongoing conflict, and fostering a greater sense of friendship, fondness and admiration. Most recently, I have also started supporting folks around navigating the complexities of open and polyamorous relationships, including communication challenges, managing jealousy, setting boundaries, and ensuring that all relationships are healthy and consensual.

I have a special interest in supporting folks in the medical field and those living with ADHD and supporting both the partner with ADHD and the non-ADHD partner find balance within their relationship.

I believe that in couples therapy, there is a time for education, connection, reflection and also humor. I greatly enjoy helping couples identify their strengths and find ways to work on their vulnerabilities while still maintaining a sense of hope. Though I have had some wonderful trainings and have experience supporting couples, I’m in no way an expert in all relationships or yours and I enjoy coming to this work with a sense of curiosity and learning about how your relationship works while helping you process it. My hope is that through your dedication and willingness to process your relationship, in addition to the education and tools I can provide you with, you and your partner can work on finding acceptance in what your relationship can or can’t look like and together you get back to a better place.

As Dr. John Gottman often explains, 69% of all problems are perpetual and 39% are solvable, so acceptance, friendship and understanding is key in a marriage’s success.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our tiny human and our dog doing just about anything outdoors. I am also trained in perinatal mental health and grief & loss.
