Approach
At the heart of my practice is the belief that relationships are central to a fulfilling life. Drawing on the principles of Relational Life Therapy (RLT), I focus on helping individuals, couples, and families cultivate deeper, more authentic connections with themselves and others. I understand that relationships often mirror our internal worlds, and through this lens, we work to address not only communication patterns but also the underlying emotional dynamics that shape them.
Relational Life Therapy emphasizes truth-telling, emotional accountability, and the practice of relational skills that foster intimacy, resilience, and growth. Our approach is compassionate yet direct, guiding you through transformative conversations and practices that challenge old patterns and create space for healthier, more connected relationships. Whether you are navigating personal struggles, relationship conflicts, or simply seeking to deepen your relational capacities, we are here to support you in building the relational life you desire.
Relational Therapy may be a good fit for you if:
- You feel disconnected from your partner, family, or from yourself.
- You often find yourself stuck in the same arguments or conflicts without resolution.
- You struggle to express your needs or set healthy boundaries in relationships.
- You’re seeking deeper emotional and physical intimacy but are unsure how to achieve it.
- You want to break free from long-standing patterns of resentment, defensiveness, or avoidance.
- You desire more honesty, accountability, and vulnerability in your relationships.
- You’re ready to challenge old habits and create new, empowering ways of relating.
If any of these resonate with you, our approach can help you navigate the complexities of your relational life and foster more meaningful, connected experiences.

Let me know if this aligns with your vision!
To be human is to feel and connect.
Through relational therapy we will unpack what you learned about yourself in relationship to others through your original caregivers. I will support you in developing a new way to see yourself that will align you with what you desire and help you develop relational confidence through therapeutic process and relational skill building.
In our sessions, I will invite you to begin turning towards a relationship with yourself that is grounded and intimate. In couples work, I will encourage you to turn towards yourself and your partner.
Psychotherapy is one of the few spaces in which an individual and couples are invited to explore the deepest aspects of their own vulnerability and humanity.
My definition of healing involves working with the heart, mind, body, and the soul.
Through the integration of these parts, we learn to listen to the truth that lives deep within us and we develop a deep, unconditional, and unwavering love for ourselves. This self-love frees us up to experience more connection and intimacy with others.
My own healing journey has taught me that healing is not linear, nor is it one dimensional, and it requires patience and commitment.
I believe in the possibility of healing because I have experienced the transformation within myself.
This experience fuels my continued excitement to work with others.
I know that rebuilding doesn’t mean the absence of suffering.
