About:
Patterns in relationships can leave partners feeling unheard, frustrated, exhausted, and alone. You might find yourselves stuck in frequent arguments, watching conflicts escalate, or longing for a deeper, more meaningful connection.
I work with couples across a range of experiences, from healing after affairs and navigating high conflict to strengthening foundations through premarital counseling. Together, we’ll slow things down, uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface, and help you break out of the patterns that keep you stuck.
When a relationship is nurtured, it becomes a safe haven, a source of comfort, joy, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Love is one of the most powerful forces we have, and investing in it can transform not just your relationship, but your life.
As a scientist-practitioner with 24 research publications, I’m deeply committed to using effective, evidence-based approaches that create lasting change. I’ve completed nearly 300 hours of advanced training and mentorship in leading couples therapy models, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method.
I truly love this work. With my support, you and your partner can learn how to have meaningful conversations that foster understanding, security, and greater joy together.
You don’t have to keep navigating this alone or guessing how to create the connection you want. I invite you to reach out here or through my website. I’d be honored to support you.

About:
I offer virtual couples counseling for married couples who want to strengthen their relationship, repair trust, or understand each other more clearly. For over 10 years, I’ve worked in the relational space, helping husbands and wives navigate conflict, emotional distance, and the patterns that quietly erode connection over time.
My work is grounded in an Emotion-Focused Therapy approach, with a strong emphasis on helping each partner understand their role in the relationship dynamic. Rather than focusing only on communication techniques, we look closely at the emotional responses that drive conflict and withdrawal, so both partners can show up with greater clarity, responsibility, and care.
I work to create a space where both spouses feel represented and respected. Many couples appreciate that I bring a steady, balanced presence to the work, helping each partner speak honestly, listen more openly, and move toward a relationship that feels secure, mutual, and sustainable.

About:
What you can expect from working with me for couples therapy: I am an emotion-and-process-focused attachment therapist, which means that cultivating awareness around your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in relation to one another. Throughout sessions, you may notice moments in which I will gently interrupt – this is to gain a deeper understanding of your emotional experience and to dive deeper into the interaction within the relationship. While it might feel jarring, these interruptions are intentional to highlight experiential experiences within the here-and-now moment. You might also notice moments of silence – this is also intentional for two reasons: the first being as an ADHD clinician, it helps me organize my thoughts and nervous system response to the experience at hand, and the second being that silence can deepen the emotions felt within that given moment. As a couples therapist, I utilize Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).

Being resilient allows you to recover and adapt to difficult experiences. Instead of being overwhelmed, the resilient person is able to manage their strong feelings and impulses and communicate their concerns and needs. Resilience is not a trait that you either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that can be learned and developed in all of us. Couples who are resilient are open, attuned, and responsive to each other. They are able to recognize their deepest needs and longings, and risk reaching out to their partner to communicate and connect. My work involves primarily couples in all stages of relationship!

About:
I work with couples from an EFT approach, and I work with individuals using Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy integrating other approaches based on the unique considerations of each person. Whether in relationship with your partner, your children, yourself, or others in your life, sometimes you get stuck in loops and can't seem to break free. Those loops may show up as relational conflict, anxiety, depression, addiction, or any number of frustrating or overwhelming issues. Working free of those cycles can be hard to do on your own, and my job is to partner with you in untangling the knots, making sense of it all, and helping you explore the path to where you’d rather be. I use a variety of methods for helping people reach for meaning, connection, and the life they’re hoping for. My approach is based in relationships, learning to recognize patterns and build new strategies for meeting needs, developing a way to make sense of yourself and your context, facing and accepting the difficult aspects of life, and understanding how bodies and brains impact how people function. I partner with people to incorporate their values, beliefs, backgrounds, needs, and expertise in their own lives into the process of growth, change, and connection that promote resilience, interdependence, and freedom in life and relationships.

I work with people navigating existential overwhelm, disconnection, and the ache of being human in a world that often demands numbness or performance. My practice centers queer, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled folks, and anyone wrestling with identity, authenticity, and relationships under capitalism and systemic violence.
Many of the people I work with have been called too sensitive, too much, too angry, too complicated. They might identify as people-pleasers, perfectionists, loners, or overthinkers. Often, they want more intimacy, more trust, more clarity—but feel stuck, guarded, or unsure how to reach for it.
I draw from existential-humanistic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFiT), and relational-cultural work. My focus is on helping people explore emotional patterns, interrupt old protective strategies, and build more honest, mutual connections—with themselves and others.
My practice is 100% virtual. I offer group therapy focused on relational healing and connection, and therapeutic intensives for identity exploration and life transitions. Individual therapy is available on a limited basis.

Most of my clients come to me because of experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma that have led them to a desire to find new paths for themselves and their relationships. Often the couples I see struggle to feel close to one another as the inevitable stresses and changes in their lives become a barrier to the intimacy and connection that they are looking for. My clients, both as individuals and members of a couple, are often people who describe themselves as being “do-ers” who have difficulty slowing down to understand their internal experiences and why they do what they do. Much of my work in recent years has been with medical professionals, first responders, and veterans who have worked hard to manage and distance themselves from their emotional reactions because of the need to focus and perform in their work setting.

About:
I am a Board-Certified Psychologist specializing in Couples Therapy with over a decade of expertise in EFT. My extensive training encompasses more than 400 hours in EFT, along with over 100 hours in related "attachment-based”, experiential models.
Not only have I honed my skills through extensive training, but I've also played a role in fostering the professional growth of others. I've conducted nearly 250 hours of individual and group training for psychologists and therapists many approved for continuing education credits, at various workshops, conferences, and group and individual training sessions. Numerous individuals who sought individual supervision under my guidance have successfully attained certification in EFT in their own right.
My practice extends beyond the confines of a physical office—I provide therapy for couples and individuals through video sessions, making my services accessible to those in cities such as Portland, Beaverton, Bend, Eugene, and Salem. I also provide intensive “private” couples weekends on selective dates.
I was born and raised in Oregon but have lived and worked in various regions worldwide, including Africa and Europe. As a result, I have been fortunate to significantly enhance my capacity to perceive the world from others' perspectives, no matter how different they may seem to be. Before embarking on my psychology career, I held management roles at Fortune 50 companies. I have also worked as a Management Psychologist aiding professionals in their development. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy skiing, photography, mountaineering, international travel and, most importantly, spending time with my family.

About:
My approach to therapy is based on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing and growth. As we adapt to life's challenges, however, we sometimes get stuck in long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, or relating to others that ultimately limits our growth and leaves us feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or fearful. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify, understand, and change these patterns that keep them feeling stuck so that they can move towards a life and relationships that are more fulfilling and connected. I provide counseling for couples and individuals seeking help for a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, communication difficulties, affairs, difficulties with trust or intimacy, or difficult life transitions. I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds and identities. I have experience working with clients of all sexual orientations, genders, and relationship orientations including polyamory and other forms of consensual non-monogamy.

About:
The heart of what I do is support couples and relationships in our community. When I work with couples and relationships, I’m interested in helping support you in navigating tough conversations, building a solid foundation together, and getting your relational needs met. I am passionate about working with couples and relationships around: getting free from the cycle of conflict, communicating more skillfully together, mending and tending to trust issues, finding more sexual satisfaction, healing old hurts, and sinking into more relational security together. When I work with individuals, I'm interested in helping you sink into being fully you while being in relationship with others. That might mean learning more about who you are, discovering your needs in relationship, getting support with boundaries and saying "no," processing your childhood and past, or growing your ability to being more vulnerable with others. I want to support you in being your full, authentic self.

Oregon Health Plan (OHP): Open Card only
About:
I provide couples counseling using for relationships where communication seems to break down, emotional closeness has faded, or trust needs repair. I utilize EFT to help couples in these situations slow down and expand their toolbox for easing reactive patterns, understanding what’s happening in conflict or withdrawal, and building trust and closeness.
I also provide trauma-informed therapy for adults tired of being defined by past hurts, people-pleasing, their inner critic, or feeling relationally disconnected. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) to help adults discover greater self-direction by curiously and compassionately tuning into their bodies, thoughts and emotions.
My style is depth-oriented, sincere, and compassionate. Especially well-suited for people who want meaningful change and may feel cautious or unsure how to open up.

About:
Marriage and intimate relationships can grow to foster tremendous love and support or deteriorate into painful disappointment and heart break. Before a relationship breaks down it can be very helpful to understand the deeper meaning behind the fighting and withdrawal. To help couples return to previous states of happiness and fulfillment I practice Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT). EFT is short term (typically 20-30 sessions), empirically validated treatment based on emotion and attachment theory. Research has shown that the EFT model that moves 70-75% of couples from distress to recovery & gains for months or years after treatment. Having done this work I feel that EFT also translates well into understanding the needs of children and would undoubtedly bolster the child-rearing skills for any parent. As a Certified EFT Therapist I have completed extensive training and supervision hours. During my time in San Francisco I was fortunate enough to train under some of the leaders of the EFT community including the EFT founder Dr. Susan Johnson, Certified EFT Trainers Dr. Sam Jinich, Dr. Rebecca Jorgenson, Dr. Mark Kaupp, and Certified EFT Supervisor Dr. Susan Glick. To further my expertise I continue to be in periodic supervision with Dr. Glick.

About:
Most couples I work with are wrestling with some combination of anxiety, depression, anger, and being "stuck". In addition, they are sometimes struggling to figure out what is most meaningful and important with regard to being in a romantic relationship. With other couples, their goals and values may be clear, but they find themselves running into psychological barriers such as fear and avoidance. I truly believe that neither partner is to blame for their struggles as a couple. Instead, I place the blame clearly on the traps couples fall into; the cycles they unwittingly enact again and again as they see no other way out. My job is to shed light on how to emerge from these destructive cycles and my main tool is a predominantly emotional focus helping to unearth the feelings that each partner is unable or unwilling to communicate to the other. When couples are in this trap they often get little from the other that they can connect with, or warm to, in order to begin breaking the cycle. Most of our work will be to go underneath the defenses (such as criticism or withdrawal) we use to protect ourselves from pain and to realize that, ironically, these defenses have become the problem. We will be accessing the hurt, sadness, fear, shame and the desire for intimacy (as well as the opposing need for autonomy) that underlie the anger and "checking out" that often occur when you are both stuck.
