I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in couples therapy. I help couples repair emotional injuries, communicate clearly, sooth intense emotions, and rebuild trust and connection.

Utilizing a trauma informed approach that draws from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and attachment science, I lead with compassion and depth. At the same time, I focus on helping couples take action, access self-agency, and tune into their inherent ability to grow. I work with common challenges, like communication and sex, and I also support couples facing some of the most painful and pivotal moments in their relationship, including infidelity, addiction recovery, and marriages on the brink of divorce.

At the heart of my work is a hopeful but grounded belief that relationships and people can heal, evolve and actualize. Even after significant hurt and disconnection, when people are willing to look at themselves, commit to integrity, recognize their impact, share tender emotions, and engage in the work of repair, change is possible.

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my life partner and our five children in Encinitas, where we live. I feel most restored when I'm with my family, spending time near the ocean, running along the 101, or enjoying time outdoors.
