Beyond Traditional Couples Therapy
Many couples come to me after years of feeling stuck—or after trying therapy before and wondering why lasting change still feels out of reach.
What often keeps couples trapped isn’t a lack of love. It’s the automatic patterns that emerge during moments of stress, conflict, and disconnection.
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked exclusively with couples, helping them understand what is happening beneath the surface of their struggles and create new ways of relating that foster trust, emotional safety, and deeper connection.
My work goes beyond symptom relief to address the deeper dynamics that shape relationships. Rather than focusing solely on communication skills or insight, I help couples create change that is not only understood—but deeply felt and lasting.
This depth of work is often why couples who have struggled for years begin to experience meaningful movement, renewed hope, and a stronger sense of partnership.

Why I Do This Work
I know what it’s like to be shaped by patterns you didn’t choose.
Like many people, I developed ways of protecting myself that made sense earlier in life—but later showed up in my relationships in ways I didn’t fully understand until I began doing my own deeper work.
I’ve walked the path I invite my clients to walk: untangling old patterns, understanding how the past influences the present, and learning that lasting love grows through awareness, emotional safety, and connection.
That journey changed my life, and it’s one of the reasons I believe so deeply in the possibility of change for the couples I work with.
I believe relationships have the power to heal.
When couples learn to create greater safety, trust, and understanding with one another, they don’t just change their own lives—they change what gets passed forward. Every cycle interrupted creates the possibility for something healthier to be inherited by the next generation.
That’s what keeps me devoted to this work.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Boulder, Colorado, and I work exclusively with couples because I believe the relationship itself can become one of the most powerful places for healing and growth.
Throughout my career, I’ve focused on the intersection of trauma healing and couples therapy, pursuing advanced training in PACT®, TCT®, attachment, and experiential approaches so I can help couples move beyond insight alone and create change that is deeply felt, meaningful, and lasting.
A Little More About Me
I believe in practicing what I teach. Creating secure, connected relationships isn’t just my work—it’s how I strive to live.
Most weekends, you’ll find me in the mountains—scrambling peaks, cycling, camping, or backpacking into the alpine with my life partner and friends. Time in nature helps me slow down, reconnect, and remember what matters most.
I also stay grounded through strength training and daily meditation—practices that help me bring presence, steadiness, and care to both my personal life and my work.
I believe that how we care for ourselves influences how we show up for the people we love.
Healing in relationship is possible.
I know this not only as a therapist, but as a human being who has experienced the power of growth, connection, and doing the work that lasting relationships ask of us.
I believe that thriving relationships—and meaningful lives—are built through connection, curiosity, and tending to what matters most.
