I became a psychologist because I believe the hardest conversations are the ones most worth having, and that almost no one teaches us how to have them well.
For years, I've sat with couples on the edge of giving up, with people rebuilding after divorce, and with clients whose anxiety makes everything feel louder than it should. What I've learned is simple but not easy: connection is a skill. Repair is a skill. They can be learned and strengthened, even when you're tired, even when you've gotten it wrong before.
I don't believe in the movie version of love. I believe in the practiced version: the kind built through awkward conversations, repair attempts, and showing up again the next day. I've done enough of my own rebuilding to know it's possible, and to know it isn't quick.
My style is warm and honest. I won't hand you clichés or pretend I have it all figured out. I'll help you slow down, understand what's happening underneath the conflict, and find your way back toward each other, or toward a steadier version of yourself.
If you're here feeling overwhelmed, hear this: you're not broken, you're overwhelmed. There's a difference, and there's a way through.
I'd be honored to help you find it.
