You’re tired of feeling disconnected from the people who matter most to you. You may feel like you’re having the same arguments over and over, or like the spark you once had has dimmed. You know something has to change—even if you’re not exactly sure what that change looks like yet.

 

You want to feel understood, communicate more openly, and enjoy life together as a team. You want to rebuild trust, strengthen your bond, and write a new chapter for your relationship.

​

I know how challenging it can be to navigate the ups and downs of relationships, especially when trust has been broken and life stressors—like substance use or infidelity—create even more distance. That’s why I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist: To help couples and individuals find their way back to deeper, more fulfilling connections.

​

My passion comes from truly believing that every person has an important story to tell—and that your story is not finished yet. I am here to help you uncover what matters most to you, heal from the pain that’s been holding you back, and create the kind of life and relationships you want.

​

I will help you by:

​

• Identifying the patterns that are keeping you from feeling close and connected.

• Teaching you communication skills that help you and your loved ones feel heard and understood.

• Guiding you to clarify your values so you can live in alignment with them, even during life’s toughest seasons.​

 

I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative space where you can explore your challenges and discover new ways forward. Together, we will work to not only address the current struggles, but also to build lasting tools for growth and connection.

​

Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring local restaurants with my husband and son, traveling when we can, and cheering for my favorite baseball team—Go Cubs!

 

If you’re ready to start creating the relationships and life you’ve been longing for, I’m here to walk that path with you.
