Who am I?

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where I was drawn to the study of relationships and emotional connection. My approach is psychodynamic and person-centered, grounded in curiosity, empathy, and the belief that healing happens through understanding ourselves in the context of our relationships. I integrate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and somatic mindfulness to help clients deepen emotional awareness, strengthen communication, and build secure bonds with themselves and others.

Originally from the East Coast, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to build your family far from home and loved ones. That experience informs my commitment to helping couples and parents feel supported through transitions—whether it’s moving in together, starting a family, or learning to stay connected through the demands of parenthood. In therapy, I help partners slow down, understand the emotional patterns that keep them stuck, and create new experiences of safety and closeness.

Before becoming a therapist, I trained and practiced in bodywork, which continues to shape the way I listen, attuning not only to words, but to the subtle shifts in tone, posture, and energy that reveal how we hold emotion in the body. This somatic sensitivity supports a deep level of empathy and presence in my work with clients.

In addition to couples, I work with individuals in caregiving roles; parents, therapists, and helping professionals who are feeling depleted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of self. Many are navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or postpartum adjustment, struggling to regulate emotions or maintain connection with their partners while carrying the weight of caring for others. Together, we make space for your own needs, explore the roots of these patterns, and help you reconnect with a more grounded, compassionate sense of yourself.

Whether you come to therapy as a couple or on your own, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to strengthen the relationships that matter most, starting with the one you have with yourself.
