Transform your relationships today
Transform your relationships today
I believe in the power of community and connection. Life will bring us a constant string of unique challenges, and my goal in couples therapy is helping you create a secure base that makes life just a little easier. I use an attachment lens that says many of our present connections are informed by our childhood experiences, and I also believe that our identity and how the world views us also creates an impact on what we bring to our relationships. I use my lens to offer tools unique to your dynamic that will change how you communicate, how you argue, and how you repair.
Sessions with me have been described as warm, safe, and challenging. I will always hold space with intention and care, but I will absolutely point out the patterns I see in an effort to fuel our work together. You get to dictate the pace, but when you are ready to work I am right there with you.
My couples therapy training background includes multiple year attendance at The Couples Conference where leaders in the field present on the most up to date couples therapy modalities, Level 1 Relational Life Therapy training with Terry Real, and I'm currently pursuing my Integrative Couples and Sex Therapy Certification.
I offer sessions at my office in Fullerton, CA and online for all of California and Florida.

I get it, the idea of starting couples therapy can be really scary. It might mean the problems have gotten to big, or that you might be considering ending your relationship. While this can be the case, it doesn't (and shouldn't) have to be. What if you are content at times, but when you see another couple being affectionate in public or laughing over dinner you think, "I want THAT!" Maybe things have gotten really bad, or changed so much, but you still remember the times you really enjoyed each other and want to get back to them--we can do this.
REINVEST IN YOUR LOVE
One thing I truly believe is that the relationship dynamic can be changed by one person. If you are ready for your relationship to change but your partner isn't ready for couples therapy yet, don't get discouraged. Often the insight gained from individual sessions will create a shift that leads towards the kind of relationship you hope for.
For couples facing crisis (infidelity, betrayal, threats of divorce), the fear can be that the problems have gotten too big to fix. Establishing a safe place to explore and work through these issues with clear structure and boundaries can help to make them more manageable in the short-term, and solvable in the long-term.
