About

Now offering telehealth in DE as well! As an attachment-oriented Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with individuals struggling with OCD, anxiety, and couples stuck in disconnection and decreased intimacy. Individuals I work with often have an internal monologue of being "not good enough", internally wrestling with doubts and uncertainty regarding their own value, "rightness", and abilities regardless of accomplishments. My goal is to help clients by changing their relationship to these fears by developing insight into how these fears arise and building a sense of internal security that allows them to thrive.

My approach with couples is grounded in the framework of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Oftentimes, couples I work with struggle with sexual and emotional intimacy. My goal is to help couples identify the unexpressed or misunderstood feelings that drive their cycles of disconnection, and learn ways to communicate that build connection and intimacy.

Everyone needs support, encouragement, and understanding each and every day of our lives, and this is what I seek to give to each and every client. Whether you're seeking support as an individual or as part of a couple, I am committed to working with you to alleviate your pain and fears while cultivating the growth you want in your life and relationships.
