I’m a marriage and relationship therapist who helps couples and individuals break out of painful, repetitive patterns and gain clarity about the future of their relationships. Many of the people I work with feel stuck—caught in recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, emotional distance, or uncertainty about whether their relationship can be repaired.

Together, we slow down reactive cycles, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and create a clear, intentional path forward—whether that means rebuilding the relationship or making thoughtful decisions about what comes next.

My approach is integrative, relational, somatic, and trauma-informed. I work actively and collaboratively with you to build emotional awareness, strengthen nervous system regulation, and develop the skills needed for honest, effective communication. In couples work, I focus on helping you understand the patterns shaping your relationship while practicing new ways of relating that support connection, accountability, and meaningful change.

My background is somewhat unique. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a family lawyer and mediator. I’ve seen firsthand the emotional and financial impact of unresolved conflict, as well as how difficult it can be to make decisions about a relationship when emotions are high. That experience allows me to bring both depth and clarity to this work—supporting you in navigating high-stakes conversations with steadiness, intention, and care.

I offer secure telehealth sessions for clients throughout California and can provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
