You try to fix it but nothing sticks.
Youre not broken. But the way you and your partner communicate is. I help couples move out of reactive cycles and actually understand each other.

Clinical Supervision
I proudly offer clinical supervision for associates eager to enhance their skills in the therapy field. Together, we'll explore the intricacies of mental health disorders, trauma, and relationships, providing a supportive environment for your personal growth.
My Approach
Most couples think they’re arguing about communication, effort, or priorities.
But underneath, it’s often about:
-
Feeling unseen or unimportant
-
Fear of rejection or abandonment
-
Not knowing how to express needs without it turning into conflict
My work focuses on helping you understand and shift these deeper patterns—not just manage surface-level disagreements.

Over the past several years, I’ve focused more deeply on working with couples, particularly those feeling stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection. My work is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you create real change—not just insight.
