My path to therapy has always centered on relationships—how we love, how we repair, and how we grow. I specialize in Couples Therapy and Discernment Counseling, and I also work with families and individuals from a systemic perspective. In sessions, I’m warm, direct, and collaborative: we clarify goals, explore context, and look for small, repeatable changes that build momentum. Clients often describe my style as strengths-based, curious, and practical.
Outside of the therapy room, I have a lifelong passion for dance. Movement has taught me about rhythm, balance, flexibility, and discipline—lessons I bring into my work with clients. Just like in dance, relationships have patterns: sometimes we step on each other’s toes, sometimes we move in harmony, and sometimes we need to learn new choreography together. I often use dance analogies in sessions because they offer a creative and relatable way to explore how we move with and around the people we love.
