As a couples therapist and relationship specialist, my work is dedicated to understanding the complexities of relationships. I help couples move past the stuck points and break free from the cycle of repeated arguments. Together, we can untangle what’s keeping you going in circles and create new ways forward
Ready to get off the cycle?
Most therapy practices don’t specialize solely in couples therapy, which can make it harder to truly address the challenges in your relationship. That’s where I come in. My training and practice are dedicated to helping couples create meaningful change and move out of feeling stuck.

Maybe you've tried couples therapy before, but it felt like something was missing. You're looking for a specialist who really gets relationships and can provide that missing piece.
Feeling a bit distant from your partner? You're eager to bring back that spark you two used to share.
Tired of endless arguments without any real progress? You want a couples therapist who won't just watch but will actively guide those discussions toward understanding and resolution.
You are feeling like you're stuck in a loop of misunderstandings and mixed signals with your partner. You're seeking a bit of guidance to break free from these endless loops.

What Does Success Look Like?
My aim is to “work myself out of a job” and help you become independent in navigating your relationship journey together. When partnering with a specialized couple’s therapist, like myself, it can speed up conflict resolution, improve self-awareness, and deepen your connection. This often leads to a closer bond, more fulfilling intimacy, and a clearer plan for handling any bumps in the road.
Investing in relationship therapy is a significant commitment that reflects your dedication to strengthening your bond. While it might be tempting to choose the most budget-friendly option, it's important to consider the long-term value of investing in quality therapeutic work. So, as you deliberate, keep in mind the importance of choosing what aligns best with your needs and goals, ultimately setting the stage for a more fulfilling journey ahead.

How much does working with a Relationship Specialist cost?
Why Don't You Take Insurance?
I believe you should be in charge of your treatment
Many people are surprised to learn that insurance companies often decide how long sessions can be, how often they occur, and even when treatment should end. I believe those decisions should be made by you and me together, not by a third party who does not know you. By choosing to work outside of insurance, I’m able to provide care that truly fits your needs. This also gives us more flexibility with scheduling, rescheduling, and cancellations, without being limited by insurance company rules or restrictions.
I believe your truth deserves care and privacy
Insurance companies require access to your private health information, including diagnoses, notes, how long you have attended, when you cancelled, and personal history. When working through insurance, your confidentiality cannot be fully protected in the same way it can when we work together directly.
I believe in honesty and transparency about costs
Many individuals and families find that high-deductible plans still leave them paying out of pocket for therapy, even with insurance. Some spend the year working toward a deductible but never see the benefits of ‘in-network’ coverage. Insurance companies will also do "claw backs" on couple's work they do not deem to be "medically needed", putting your treatment decisions into their control.
I believe in accessible care, with costs shaped around you
I offer reduced fee hourly rates for households earning under $190k. This helps make therapy more accessible for those who may not be able to pay my full rate. These options are designed to give flexibility and often align with what insurance clients already pay toward their deductible. I only ask for a W-2, paystub, or other form of documentation.
