I believe we're all made up of many parts, and that even the reactions we most want to change are usually trying to protect us in some way. So much of what we carry into our relationships comes from these parts working overtime, often since long before we had the words for it.

My work draws primarily on Internal Family Systems, a gentle, non-pathologizing way of getting to know those parts so they can soften and you can lead from a calmer, steadier place. With couples, I bring in the Gottman Method to cool down conflict and rebuild the friendship underneath it. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be fully yourself—understood, challenged when it matters, and never judged.

Therapy doesn’t need to feel clinical or overly polished to be meaningful. I want you to be able to bring the messy, contradictory, unfinished parts of what you’re going through into the room. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what needs to change. We can figure that out together.
