Working with couples is what I do best. Love stories are my favorite stories, and I want to hear yours. Whether you're feeling disconnected, struggling with communication, navigating sexual challenges, or longing to find your way back to each other, I help couples of all identities and orientations rebuild trust and deepen connection. I am sex-positive and believe that conversations about intimacy, desire, and pleasure should be open, shame-free, and grounded in mutual respect. I provide an affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive space where all relationship structures and identities are welcomed and respected. My approach is kind, direct, and engaged, creating a warm environment where you can be fully yourselves while also doing the honest work that meaningful change requires.

Couple and Marriage Counseling for Connection and Communication
Relationships are built on connection, communication, and trust — and when those foundations crack, it can feel overwhelming. I provide couples and marriage therapy designed to help you and your partner face the hard stuff together so you can rebuild a relationship that feels honest, secure, and emotionally connected. Pre-marital counseling is also available.
Connection and intimacy are the heart of every relationship, but they’re also the first things to fade when stress, communication issues, trauma, or unresolved conflict get in the way. Many couples find themselves feeling more like roommates, business partners, or co-parents than romantic partners — unsure how they drifted apart or how to find their way back.
My connection and intimacy work helps couples slow down, rebuild emotional closeness, and understand the deeper patterns that make intimacy feel difficult or inconsistent. I provide a direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore vulnerability, express needs clearly, and reconnect with each other in a way that feels safe and genuine.

Conflict Resolution & Relationship Crisis
Every couple argues, but unresolved conflict, looping conversations, and emotional shutdown can slowly erode trust and connection. My conflict resolution services are designed to help you break these cycles and finally understand what’s really happening underneath the surface.
In our work together, you will:
-Learn how to slow down reactive patterns
-Understand the underlying emotions driving the conflict
-Develop tools for productive, respectful communication
-Practice structured conversations that lead to resolution
-Build skills for repairing after arguments
My approach is engaged and straightforward. I won’t sit back and let you spin in circles — I guide conversations in real time, help you say what’s difficult to say, and keep both partners accountable.
The goal isn’t to eliminate conflict. It’s to help you handle it in a way that strengthens connection rather than erodes it.

Infidelity Recovery and Trust Repair
Few experiences shake a relationship like discovering or revealing an affair. The shock, grief, anger, and confusion that follow can make it feel impossible to know what comes next. Infidelity doesn’t just break trust — it disrupts communication, destabilizes emotional safety, and often exposes deeper issues that have been unaddressed for years. In the early days after an affair is discovered, immediate actions must be taken to prevent further damage and to create the stability needed for healing.
In our work together, we focus first on stabilizing the immediate crisis and creating space for the betrayed partner’s pain, questions, and need for transparency. From there, we work toward meaningful accountability, clear boundaries, and a deeper understanding of the relational vulnerabilities that existed prior to the betrayal. My style is active and direct—I guide difficult conversations in real time, interrupt defensiveness, and help both partners engage honestly in the process. Rebuilding trust requires consistent, observable change, and I help couples develop concrete steps that support repair. Whether your goal is reconciliation or clarity about the future of the relationship, I provide steady, structured support to help you move forward with intention.
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, navigating conflict, or looking to strengthen your bond, I provide a safe, supportive space to help you grow together.
