For partners ready to do real work.

I intentionally maintain a limited caseload so every couple receives the time, presence, and thoughtful attention meaningful change requires. My work is grounded in attachment science, relational psychology, and trauma-informed care. I believe that the patterns creating distance, conflict, or disconnection are not signs that a relationship is beyond repair - they are understandable, identifiable, and, with the right guidance, capable of lasting change.

As both a clinician and researcher, I integrate evidence-based approaches with a deep understanding of the emotional dynamics that shape enduring partnerships. My doctoral research explores relational psychology and the factors that foster resilient, fulfilling relationships under the depth-oriented supervision of Dr. Markus Rogan.

Sessions are warm, direct, and insight-oriented. Rather than staying at the level of recurring arguments, we explore the emotions, attachment needs, and protective patterns beneath them - creating the insight, safety, and connection that allow real transformation to occur.
