I have trained widely in Couple therapy and focus on the Bader-Pearson Developmental Model Couple therapy. I am also trained in Sex therapy.

I’m very passionate about relationships! I believe that it is within relationships that we are able to grow and thrive if we are given the right support and awareness. I love experiencing the magic happen within a couple when they grow through engaging with Couple therapy.  The Developmental model includes paying attention to our neurobiology, attachment theory and differentiation. The changes couples go through can change permanently because they learn how to allow their relationship to nudge them forward towards more growth and connection.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe we’re all on a lifelong journey of growth. I’m here to support you in building the skills and capacities that lead to a more fulfilling, connected, and joyful relationship. Drawing on Developmental Model and Imago Therapy,  I offer a rich and practical framework to navigate through the common challenges and emotional ruptures that arise in relationships. Our work continues beyond our sessions —you’ll receive tailored assignments and exercises designed to help you apply the new skills and practices in your everyday life together. Over the years, I’ve gathered valuable insights into what supports long lasting change and makes relationships flourish, and I love sharing these transformative concepts and tools with the couples I work with. I am dedicated to work with couples and individuals across a wide range of relationship issues. 

As someone living in a neurodiverse partnership myself, I have a deep personal and professional commitment to understanding neurodivergence and supporting couples and individuals navigating the complexities of ADHD and autism (ASD). Neurodivergence brings unique strengths—but it also often presents additional challenges that may cause deep pain or misunderstanding for both partners.

Wherever on your relationship journey you are, there are steps you can take to grow a strong, loving and lasting relationship.

My couple therapy approach has been significantly influenced by the Bader Pearson Developmental Model of Relationship Therapy due in part to its dual focus of assisting individuals to understand and engage in their own personal growth, alongside the couple work of assisting insight, understanding, capacity, & skill development for enhancing relationship trust and intimacy. Long-term intimate adult relationships provide valuable and meaningful opportunities for growth if we choose to explore them and be open to feedback. In my experience, resources (e.g., time, energy, money) invested working within a couple therapy framework have the ability to offer greater returns in a timely manner than individual therapy aimed at addressing relationship concerns. Given this, I am highly motivated to assist couples to make the most of the opportunity they are presenting with, working together to achieve growth for both parties and, if they choose, an enhanced connection with each other.
