Therapy Services for Couples and Individuals
Couples Therapy Sessions
In couples therapy, our focus will be on deepening emotional connections and improving communication in a present and mindful way. As a Gottman Level 2 trained therapist, I work with couples to explore and understand their emotional patterns and how they impact their relationships. Together, we identify recurring cycles and uncover deeper emotions that often drive conflict or distance.
Individual Therapy Sessions
In our Individual therapy sessions, I provide a supportive space for those navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, and life transitions. Using EFT and mindfulness, I work with clients to explore their emotional experiences and identify patterns that may be contributing to feelings of overwhelm or disconnection. We then work to set goals and uncover tools to help create lasting solutions.
Professional Coaching
I also offer business and professional coaching for leaders and entrepreneurs who want support navigating growth, confidence, and decision-making in their work. This coaching is offered separately from my therapy practice and focuses on the challenges that come with leading a team, building a business, or stepping more fully into your own voice as a professional.
Support, Wherever You're Starting From
Therapy isn't accessible for everyone right now — and that's okay. If cost, timing, or waitlists are standing in your way, I've built a few resources so you can start building connection and healing on your own terms
Closer — A Self-Paced Course
9 modules, 18 videos, weekly meditations, and a full workbook to guide you (or you and your partner) through the same tools I use in session — at your own pace, wherever you are.
