I help couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, and rekindle intimacy. My work is centered on helping partners find their way back to each other and create relationships that feel loving and secure.

Many of the couples I see are navigating high stress, the aftermath of infidelity, or the painful question of whether to stay together. If you are facing a crisis in your relationship, I provide a supportive yet straightforward space to help you repair trust, reconnect, and make clear, thoughtful choices about your future. I also enjoy working with entrepreneurs, family business owners, and other high performers who want both a thriving career and a fulfilling marriage. As a mother of three, I also care deeply about supporting parents and families, including blended families and those facing complex dynamics.

My background includes a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of San Diego. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), the leading evidence-based model for couples, and I am currently pursuing certification. My additional training includes infidelity and betrayal recovery, trauma, violence, sex therapy, family therapy, perinatal mental health, and co-parenting. I have also served on the Board of the San Diego Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy for six years.

When I am not working, you will usually find me outdoors running, hiking, enjoying the ocean, or practicing yoga. Most of all, I cherish time with my life partner and our five children, who continually remind me that love and connection are at the center of what matters most.
