Therapy for Individuals & Couples

Build the Foundation for Secure, Lasting Love

Staying in a meaningful, committed relationship requires emotional skills most of us were never taught. You can learn these skills.And when you do, it becomes the doorway to trust, real intimacy, and authentic connection.

There are some things we can’t navigate on our own.

You’ve built a life together.
Now create a relationship that can sustain it.  

People don’t reach out for therapy when things are going well.
They reach out because something isn’t working. You’re facing a crisis or at an impasse and you can’t move through it alone. As a clinician, I am  deeply interested in the places where people get stuck, not just the stuckness itself, but the resistance to change, and why insight alone often isn’t enough to break through.

My mission is to collaborate with individuals and couples to uncover the specific patterns that no longer serve them, and cultivate the emotional capacity and self awareness to shift life back into balance and well being.

This work is practical, focused, and transformative, designed to restore trust, foster connection, and deepen your capacity for emotional resilience.

Couples Therapy & Relationship Coaching

Couples therapy offers a structured, compassionate space to work through the challenges that keep you disconnected, whether it’s unresolved conflict, emotional distance or communication issues. You’ll learn how to skillfully navigate your relationship with emotional intelligence and resilience. 

Together, we’ll get to the root of the attachment strategies, trauma imprints, and habits that fuel your repetitive cycles. By taking ownership of these dynamics, you can rebuild the deeper structure of your relationship, so it becomes a source of love, true support and stability.

Are you stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift?
Let’s talk.  

Individual Therapy & Coaching

Even the most self-aware people hit moments they can’t break through, no matter how much insight or effort they possess. In therapy, we trace the thread from what feels stuck to what’s been unseen, unspoken, or unresolved.  Often, the issue isn’t so much a lack of understanding, but a deeper pattern at play: unprocessed relational wounds, subtle self-betrayals, or early survival strategies that once kept you safe, but now keep you in place.

I work with high-functioning, thoughtful clients who are facing inflection points  in their relationships, work, or identity  and need skilled support to move through it. This work is direct, collaborative, and designed to help you reclaim clarity, choice, and return to yourself.

If you’re carrying old ways of being that keep you trapped, this is an invitation to reclaim who you fully are.

Psychedelic Integration

Integration is where the real work and the real gift of the psychedelic journey begins.

It’s the slow, sacred process of turning insight into embodiment, of weaving the experience into your nervous system, your psyche, your relational field. This is what allows the experience to reshape how you live, how you love, how you move through the world.

Integration doesn’t mean going back to life as it was. It’s a slow unfolding into who you’re becoming.

After the intensity of expanded states, integration is the tender and deliberate act of giving shape to what was revealed. This is where insights are metabolized, emotions are honored, and meaning is made—not in theory, but in lived experience. My integration services offer a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to process non-ordinary states and the potential for personal transformation and understanding.

Please note I do not condone  the use of illegal substances per federal and state law.
