Relationships grow. They don’t just work.

I’ve always been interested in what happens between people – the space where misunderstanding turns into resentment and understanding turns into connection.

To me, couples aren’t dysfunctional, but developmentally stuck. When stress increases, and skills stay the same, conflict escalates. That’s not a moral failure. It’s a capacity gap.

I’ve trained extensively in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, working with sex issues in psychotherapy, the Gottman Method, and parts work informed by Internal Family Systems. My work integrates somatic awareness, attachment theory and differentiation theory. We don’t just talk about change, we practice it in real time.

Here’s how I show up for clients.

In the room, I’m warm, grounded, and direct. I normalize without minimizing and challenge without shaming.

I’m particularly attuned to emotionally under-resourced partners, especially men who were socialized out of emotional language.

Repair, regulation, and partnerships are learnable skills.

Outside of sessions, I value growth, steadiness, and conversations that move beneath the surface. Those values shape how I practice.

If you’re tired of repeating the same fight and longing to feel like partners again, I’d be honored to walk through that work with you.
