While I continuously devote myself to a diverse range of current, evidence-based trainings beyond graduate school, including specialized education from the Gottman Institute and Restoration Therapy’s founder, Terry Hargrave, my passion for understanding and fostering healthy relationships is deep and personal.

Before becoming a therapist, after being shaped by life-long grief and family-wide loss, and undergoing trauma therapy, I spent more than a decade as a journalist, working closely with some of the world’s leading mental health and spiritual thought leaders to illuminate the nuances of healthy communication and satisfying love.

These experiences sparked a passion in me for understanding the power of attachment and the brilliance of the brain and nervous system—pointing me toward revelations about how we reenact early childhood pain and unprocessed trauma with our partners.

With science, humility, and heart, I approach my work as a couples therapist with devout seriousness and joy, and will never stop being a student of its complexities and potentialities.

As someone who’s been married for 13 years, I believe in the power of family and am an advocate for love. And I wholeheartedly believe in your capacity to heal yourselves and your relationship, and wiggle free from the grips of betrayal, disappointment, distance, or resentment—no matter what you’ve traveled through.

By the time you and your partner bow out of couples therapy, you should feel an enriching sense of friendship, intimacy, safety, and shared values. You will each have learned how to move through time together from a place of wholeness instead of hunger.

For many couples, their relationship becomes a beautiful source of adventure, passion, dreaming, and support. And, most importantly, a greater willingness to continuously explore each other’s inner world.

This is a super common scenario; if it applies to you, take heart!

I suggest starting with individual therapy first, where we can begin exploring your personal challenges with burnout, trauma, or whatever needs attention and care.

So often, once your partner witnesses the changes playing out in your communication, self-confidence, and well-being, they become intrigued, and the willingness to try couples therapy opens up for them.

This is about helping couples navigate a myriad of trauma-induced storms and challenges, including anxious or avoidant attachment from childhood trauma, shared trauma of experiences like miscarriage, tragedies, or loss of a loved one, and betrayals like affairs or financial infidelity.

And know this: No matter what you’ve moved through, healing is possible.

Absolutely, I do! While most of my couples prefer in-person sessions, that isn’t possible for everyone. Luckily, some studies show that online couple’s therapy is just as effective as in-person appointments. I’ve witnessed incredible results with it.

For those with hectic schedules, work and childcare demands, limited local options, or disabilities that make travel challenging, online therapy can feel like a godsend.

You don’t have to keep looping helplessly in a relationship Groundhog Day anymore. With online couple’s therapy, healing and support are more accessible than ever. Change is possible, and it’s possible for you.

I’d be honored to play a role in your love story.
