Modern therapy for individuals & couples

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Understand your patterns and how you relate- create real lasting change

I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. 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.

1.

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. 

2.

One of you shuts down

One partner pulls away, goes quiet or feels overwhelmed during conflict. 

You’re not broken. But the way you and your partner communicate is. I help couples move out of reactive cycles and actually understand each other again.

3.

The other pushes harder

The other partner pursues, explains, pushes for resolution and can end up feeling alone. 

Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for associates looking to deepen their clinical skills and confidence.

My supervision is active, supportive, and grounded in real-world practice—helping you think critically, navigate complex cases, and grow your clinical voice.

I also have experience working with therapists on BBS probation, and provide a structured, nonjudgmental space to support both your professional development with self compassion.


4.

You feel stuck even on your own

You might be overthinking, emotionally shut down, or repeating patterns you can’t seem to break—even if you understand them.

You’re not broken. But the way you relate to yourself, your emotions, and others may be keeping you stuck.

My Approach

Most people think they’re struggling with communication,motivation,or stress.

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 symptoms.

Types of Services, Insurance & Fees

Individual Therapy

I currently accept most major insurance plans for individual therapy sessions. Coverage, copays, and eligibility vary depending on your specific plan.

Couples Therapy

I offer both standard and extended session formats. Many couples find that extended sessions allow for deeper work and more meaningful progress without feeling rushed.

Insurance coverage for couples therapy can vary significantly and may be limited by medical necessity requirements and session structure. Extended couples sessions are generally offered as a private-pay service.

90-minute couples therapy sessions: $280

Couples Intensives

Couples intensives provide focused, extended support for partners who feel stuck in recurring conflict, emotional distance, or high-stress relational patterns.

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, intensives allow dedicated time to slow down patterns, strengthen communication, process underlying emotions, and begin rebuilding connection in a more immersive format.

Intensives may be helpful for couples who:

  • Feel trapped in the same recurring arguments

  • Are recovering from betrayal or infidelity

  • Are considering separation or divorce

  • Want to rebuild emotional connection

  • Need concentrated support during a difficult transition

Options may include:

  • Extended 3-hour sessions

  • Half-day intensives

  • Customized multi-days/weekend intensive formats
