I am both an individual counselor, and a marriage counselor specialized in relationships. I hold a bachelors degree in psychology and Masters of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) from the University of Massachusetts Boston and have been working for more than ten years with diverse cultures. I believe every person and every relationship has the capacity to grow once they feel understood and supported. In my practice, i work with both couples and individuals to help them navigate challenges and strengthen their connections, and move towards the life they want. My style is warm, down to earth, collaborative and scientific evidence-based. Whether you are here to work on your relationship or your own personal well-being my goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to make meaningful connections while growing out of and getting unstuck from past and present dysfunctional patterns. For couples, I focus on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and deepening intimacy — helping partners shift from conflict and distance to understanding and closeness. For individuals, I provide a supportive space to explore concerns such as challenging experiences, stress, anxiety, life transitions and personal growth (the list can go on, can’t it :)?). I love doing this work because it gives me the privilege of walking alongside people in the most vulnerable and profound parts of their lives and within themselves, and I get to witness their growth - within themselves, in their relationships, or along their journey. There is so much richness in connecting within to enhance the quality of their lives. I also enjoy offering talks, workshops and podcasts about relationships and intimacy.
