Nice to meet you

In counseling, I help individuals and couples manage relational stress and navigate uncomfortable emotions. Whether you’re facing challenges with parenting, work-life balance, managing worry, or seeking more meaning and connection in your relationships, I provide a space to explore your anxiety and build skills for clear, direct communication. Together, we’ll increase awareness of your relational patterns and work on behavior changes that foster healthier partnerships and more satisfying relationships with family and friends.
