Develop a more confident approach to dating and relationships. Together, we focus on discerning red flags, getting specific about what you need, and improving communication.

Life Transitions
In our 30s and 40s, major life changes bring a mix of emotions that can be difficult to process alone. These transitions stir up grief, uncertainty and questions about how to move forward.
-
For moms who feel stretched thin, anxious, and irritable, and who wonder if they’re failing. The expectations placed on modern mothers are extraordinarily high. Being a mother myself, I know how easy it is to feel like you have lost parts of yourself and question how you will keep moving through the day to day overwhelm, while still taking care of yourself and raising adjusted kids.
-
You once loved your work, but over time you’ve begun to notice the toll it’s taking on your time, health, relationships, and enjoyment of life outside of work. “I can’t just leave this job because it pays well. I should just be grateful that I have a job.” “I want my job to have meaning but I feel stuck.” I’ve worked with many women who have dedicated years of their time, energy, and identity to their careers and find themselves at a crossroads — wanting their lives to hold more meaning or balance but unsure how to navigate the path forward.
-
You’ve discovered your partner has been living a double life, or he decided to end the relationship without ever truly talking about it, leaving you blindsided and trying to piece together what was real. Or the grief that comes with choosing to end a relationship, knowing it was the right decision and still feeling heartbroken.
-
In our work together, alongside the overwhelm and grief, we will slowly work towards clarity — realizations about what no longer fits, decisions to reshape our lives, and a deeper connection to what actually brings meaning. Our work together helps you make sense of the transition and find your footing in the next chapter. Together we explore not just what is changing, but who you are becoming. Over time, the transition becomes less something to survive and more something to integrate.
Dating
Modern dating is harder than ever. You have a great circle of friends, a successful career and enjoy your own company, yet you can’t figure out why it’s so hard to find a committed partner. The pdesire to meet someone feels overwhelming and hopeless.
-
Women are quickly mislabeled as having anxious attachment, when in reality their behavior may simply reflect what they’re experiencing in the dating world. Societal pressure asks women to be flexible and compromise themselves to find a partner. Instead, what you need are skills for how to move dating with clarity and confidence.
-
We’ll unpack internalized myths like “all the good partners are taken” or “I must be doing something wrong.” Together, we look at how these narratives impact your choices, self-trust, and relationship patterns — and help you build a dating life rooted in self-respect rather than fear or scarcity.
In our work together, we will:
Clarify what you’re truly looking for in a partner and relationship
Identify patterns that keep showing up in your dating life
Work through fears of rejection, vulnerability, and intimacy
Build confidence and reduce anxiety around dating
Develop healthier standards and stronger discernment
Recognize red flags and choose more aligned partners
Navigate modern dating in a way that protects your time and energy
Get creative in building opportunities to meet people in real life
Relationship Ambiguity
It’s exhausting to care deeply while feeling unsure where you stand or where things are going. You’ll pulled in different directions and fear regret.
-
You are torn in your relationship, not because something is obviously wrong, but because something doesn’t fully feel right either. You love your partner and at the same time cycle through periods of doubt, guilt and overthinking. You wonder if you’re being too picky or if you’re settling, worn down by the uncertainty about whether or not to continue your relationship. This can happen with a romantic partner or a friendship.
-
What it often feels like to be stuck in relationship uncertainty:
Chronic mental looping
A sense that life is on holdGuilt about possibly hurting your partner
Fear of making the wrong decisionA sense of loneliness within the relationship
A gradual erosion of your identity
-
I help you slow things down enough to separate fear from intuition, habit from desire, and external pressure from internal truth.
Together, we’ll understand what’s driving the ambivalence and sort through whether this relationship has room for committed growth or if there is a genuine misalignment. We’ll identify what you’ve already tried within the relationship and explore how dynamics from past relationships may be influencing this one, so you can decide how you want to move forward — with honesty, intention, and self-respect.
Couples Therapy
You feel like you can’t go another day in your disconnected relationship. It’s holding you back from living fully and freely. Therapy is a place to slow things down, understand the patterns fueling your dynamic and build communication skills so you can move forward with steadiness.
-
The fights, the silence, and the betrayals are creating a sense of chaos and strain. You might be asking yourselves, how did we get here? and is it possible to come out the other side intact?
First, we’ll look at how your individual histories and protective patterns show up between you, especially in moments of tension or disconnection. Then we can move into how you relate to each other in the moment, and where you get stuck with each other. That’s when things begin to make more sense.
-
Navigate conflict more effectively
Feel more emotionally and physically connected
Understand the roles each partner plays in shaping their dynamic
Feel confident in their ability to repair when things go off track
Build meaning and shared rituals within their relationship
-
My approach is both compassionate and practical. I blend insight-oriented work with concrete tools you can use right away. I am a Level 2 trained Gottman therapist, and I integrate approaches from Relational Life Therapy and the work of Esther Perel.
After our first session, you’ll complete the Gottman Relationship Questionnaire.
Along with what I learn about your history and relationship dynamics in that first meeting, I’ll provide a personalized written summary that highlights your strengths and areas for growth. This also gives us a chance to make sure I’m fully understanding what you’d like to focus on.
Premarital Therapy
Getting married is exciting, meaningful, and often more emotionally complex than people expect.
-
Premarital therapy lays a foundation for the transition into married life and the rituals that mark it.
The pressure of planning a wedding might be leading to intense fights. Or you’re feeling overwhelmed by in-law dynamics that are creating conflict and distance between you. Or perhaps you simply want to create a strong starting point by talking about topics that are often swept under the rug.
-
Conflict resolution and problem solving
Effective communication
Financial goals and expectations
Household roles and responsibilities
Sexual and emotional expectations
Alignment in future goals
Parenting expectations
Navigating cultural differences
Family dynamics with in-laws
-
After our first session, you’ll complete the Gottman Relationship Questionnaire. Combined with what I learn about your history and relationship dynamics in our initial meeting, I’ll prepare a personalized written summary outlining your strengths, growth areas, and the themes emerging in your partnership. We use this as a roadmap to guide our conversations, allowing us to focus intentionally on what will support a strong, resilient partnership moving forward.
Other Offerings
EMDR
Different from traditional talk therapy, which often focuses on analysis, skill-building, and symptoms management, EMDR relies on the brain’s natural capacity to heal when the right conditions are in place using bi-lateral stimulation (eye movement or tapping). If you understand yourself well, yet still feel stuck, EMDR could be a good fit.
Travel Therapy
I offer a structured framework that clarifies the intention behind your trip, prepares you to meet it fully when you arrive, and supports you in integrating your insights and experiences when you return home — so you can begin designing a life aligned with what you’ve discovered.
