Relationships can be some of the most meaningful—and sometimes most challenging—parts of our lives. I believe therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and find new ways of relating to ourselves and the people we love. I work primarily with couples and individuals navigating relationship concerns, sexuality, identity, and life transitions, with a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ+ clients and mixed-orientation couples. I am especially passionate about working with couples whose relationships don't fit traditional expectations. Mixed-orientation relationships can bring unique challenges around sexual orientation, intimacy, identity, disclosure, trust, and decisions about the future of a relationship. My goal is not to tell you what your relationship should look like or what decisions you should make. Instead, I will work alongside you to create a space where each person's experiences and values can be understood, respected, and explored. I also have experience supporting clients through religious exploration, questioning, and deconstruction. For many people, faith and spirituality are deeply connected to their identity, relationships, family, sexuality, and sense of belonging. Whether you are exploring your beliefs, reconsidering a religious tradition, navigating changes in your faith, or working through the impact of religious experiences on your life, therapy can provide a space to explore these questions without judgment. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I draw from Collaborative Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I tailor these approaches to each client and relationship rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your connection, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and create a story about yourself and your relationships that feels more authentic. I strive to create a warm, affirming environment where clients can bring their whole selves to therapy. Whether you are hoping to strengthen your relationship, navigate a difficult transition, better understand your identity, explore your relationship with faith, heal from painful experiences, or simply feel more connected to yourself and the people you love, I would be honored to work with you.
