About

You’re lying in bed next to your partner, but it feels like there’s an unbridgeable gap between you. Lately, it’s as though you’re just roommates. You tolerate each other and have built a functional life together, but something integral is missing. There’s no passion anymore, and the romance has all but disappeared. When you try to discuss these issues, it always seems to devolve into a screaming match. Neither of you is having your needs met. You’ve both become so locked into your family roles that there appears to be no way out. You’re not ready to give up, but you don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. You need help. That’s why I’m here. In a safe space, you’ll learn new techniques for conflict resolution and building communication skills, informed by the Gottman method. Through our work together, you’ll free yourself from the destructive patterns holding you in place. As you begin trusting each other again, you’ll find that the love you’ve wanted was here all along. Put the spark back in your relationship! Rediscover your connection and shared purpose. Feel confident that your partner supports you and is ready to build dreams together. Take the first step toward a stronger bond. Book with me today by clicking my website for a free consultation, and we'll start our journey together! Specialties: I work with clients facing challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. In our initial sessions, we'll explore these struggles together, creating a tailored plan to support your journey. Many clients find that therapy brings emotional relief, improved self-esteem, and healthier relationships, paving the way for long-lasting growth and balance. Credentials & Experience: I have extensive training and experience in marriage therapy and individual therapy. I am also licensed in Utah, Wyoming, West Virginia, Vermont, and Maine.

"I often use CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused therapy to guide our work together. In our first session, we'll explore your concerns and choose an approach that suits your needs. With these therapies, we'll focus on understanding your emotions and building coping strategies, helping you achieve emotional balance and resilience as you move forward."
