About
I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support in your relationship can feel like a significant step. My goal is to provide a space where both partners can be heard, understood, and supported in making meaningful changes.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals and couples who are ready to understand what is happening and make a meaningful change.
Some clients are navigating recurring conflict, infidelity, or uncertainty in a relationship. Others are questioning their identity, weighing a career decision, moving through a life transition, or realizing they want more from themselves and their lives.
You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you simply know that the current way of doing things is no longer working.
How I Work
My approach is active, structured, and collaborative. I draw from Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring the work to the person or relationship in front of me.
I will help you slow down, notice the patterns influencing your choices and relationships, and turn insight into practical action. I may ask direct questions, gently challenge you when it is useful, and help keep our work focused.
Therapy should feel productive without feeling overwhelming. There is room for honesty, curiosity, and humor along the way.
What This Work Involves
Together, we may focus on:
• Understanding patterns that keep you stuck
• Clarifying what you want and what matters most
• Navigating difficult conversations and decisions
• Building stronger boundaries and communication
• Rebuilding trust after betrayal or infidelity
• Applying new insights and skills in real life
The goal is not simply to talk about change. It is to understand what is happening and begin doing something different.
A Balanced Honest Approach
This isn’t about deciding who is right or wrong. It is about understanding what keeps happening and what can change next.
For couples, both partners deserve space to be heard without turning therapy into a courtroom. For individuals, therapy is a place to examine your choices and patterns without being judged.
I’ll be honest with you while respecting your autonomy. We’ll look at the situation from more than one angle and focus on changes that fit your values—not someone else’s idea of how you should live.
With the right structure and support, patterns can change.
Telehealth
All sessions are conducted through secure video throughout California. Telehealth allows you to attend from your own space without commuting, arranging childcare, or adding another complicated appointment to an already busy day.
Closing
If you’re considering therapy, you do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Bring the questions, uncertainty, or even the slightly awkward version of what is happening. We’ll start there.
