Why Work With Me

spent nearly two decades helping individuals and couples navigate some of the most painful and complex moments in their lives including infidelity, trauma, and deep relational disconnection.

My approach is both structured and deeply relational. I draw from evidence-based methods like EMDR and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, while also focusing on attachment, emotional safety, and real-world change.

This work is not about surface-level communication skills. It’s about understanding the deeper patterns that keep you stuck—and helping you create meaningful, lasting shifts in how you relate to yourself and each other. If you’re looking for thoughtful, direct, and experienced support, this may be a good fit. Most of the couples and individuals I work with have already tried to “fix it” on their own—and are ready for something deeper that actually creates real change.

Start with a consultation to see if this feels like the right fit.

When Your Relationship is Broken,There is a Way Back

I work with individuals and couples navigating infidelity, trauma, and emotional disconnection. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and help you rebuilt trust, connection, and a relationship that actually feels good again.

You may feel hurt, disconnected, or stuck in the same painful patterns. Maybe trust has been broken, communication feels impossible, or you’re questioning whether things can really change. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine Therapy for individuals and Couples have shown to help with mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and substance use issues. It combines psychotherapy with a temporary blocking of NMDA receptors to spark a rapid antidepressant effect, which may offer longer-lasting benefits with fewer total treatments.

Couples intensive therapy offers a 12-hour immersive experience that delves deeper, encourages meaningful progress, and strengthens bonds faster than weekly one-hour sessions. By focusing fully on your relationship over a condensed period, you can achieve faster breakthroughs, deeper connection, and lasting improvements.
