A Supportive Space for Any Relationship
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives — and also one of the most challenging. Whether you’re partners, family members, friends, or colleagues, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, speak openly, and make sense of what’s happening between you.
How I Work
My approach blends psychodynamic insight, relational understanding, and the Gottman Method, alongside a deep awareness of culture, identity, and the emotional histories we each carry. I pay close attention to the patterns that show up in your relationship — the ways you communicate, protect yourselves, misunderstand each other, or get caught in cycles that feel hard to break.
Understanding What Sits Beneath the Surface
Together, we explore what lies beneath conflict, distance, or hurt, so you can understand not just what is happening, but why. I don’t take sides or assign blame. Instead, I help you create a space where each person feels heard, respected, and understood.
A Non‑Blaming, Culturally Aware Approach
We look at the emotional needs behind your reactions, the stories you’ve learned from your families or past relationships, and the pressures that shape how you show up with one another. From there, we begin to build new ways of relating — ones that feel clearer, kinder, and more sustainable.
Insight and Practical Tools
My work is thoughtful and grounded, but also practical. Alongside deeper exploration, I support you in developing tools for communication, emotional regulation, and connection — whether that’s learning to listen without defensiveness, express needs more clearly, or repair after conflict in a way that strengthens trust.
Who I Support
I work with relationships at all stages — those in crisis, those feeling stuck, those wanting to reconnect, and those simply wanting to understand each other better. Sessions are available online or in person, offering flexibility and accessibility for different needs.
Moving Forward Together
Whether you’re navigating long‑standing patterns, cultural or identity differences, communication breakdowns, or a sense that something important has shifted, I offer a steady, attuned presence to help you find clarity and move forward together.
Online therapy
Online Therapy at My Practice
Online therapy offers the same depth, care, and attunement as meeting in person, with the added benefit of being accessible from wherever you are. I use Zoom for all online sessions because it provides a secure, stable platform that supports a calm and uninterrupted therapeutic experience.
Before each session, I send a unique Zoom link — you simply click to join at the agreed time. No account or technical setup is required. Many people find that being in their own environment helps them feel more grounded, open, and able to reflect.
Accessibility is central to my practice. Online therapy can be especially helpful if you have a busy schedule, mobility needs, live outside the area, or prefer the comfort and privacy of your own space. It also allows me to work with people across different locations and time zones.
Cultural fluency is woven into how I work online. I understand that identity, language, and cultural context shape how we communicate and how safe we feel. Whether we’re exploring individual concerns or working on a relationship, I hold a space that is sensitive to cultural nuance, family histories, and the emotional landscapes you bring.
Safety — both emotional and digital — is a priority. Sessions are held in a confidential online room, and I encourage you to choose a private, comfortable space where you can speak freely. Together, we create an environment where you can slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and move toward clarity and change.

Expected Number of Sessions
Because every relationship is different, there’s no fixed number of sessions that suits everyone. Some people come for a short period to work through a specific issue or event, while others choose to stay longer to explore deeper patterns, rebuild trust, or strengthen communication over time.
My role is to help you understand what’s happening between you, create space for each person to speak and be heard, and support you in developing new ways of relating. This kind of work often unfolds gradually, and many people find that a series of sessions helps them build momentum and make meaningful, lasting changes.
Sessions are 70 minutes, giving us enough time to slow down, reflect, and explore what sits beneath conflict or disconnection. Whether we meet online or in person, we move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful for everyone involved.
Some relationships notice shifts within a handful of sessions; others benefit from a longer process. We can discuss your hopes, needs, and goals together so you have a sense of what the journey might look like for you.
Most common issues I support people with:
1. When communication feels tense, fragile, or impossible
I help people who feel unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in conversations that go nowhere. Together we slow things down so you can express yourself with more clarity and feel genuinely listened to.
2. When conflict keeps looping and you can’t find your way out
Many relationships get caught in repeating patterns — arguments that flare quickly, silence that lasts too long, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment. I support you in understanding what fuels these cycles and how to shift them.
3. When distance grows and connection feels harder to reach
Sometimes something subtle changes — less warmth, less ease, less closeness. I help people explore what’s been lost, what’s been protected, and how to rebuild a sense of safety and intimacy.
4. When trust has been shaken and repair feels overwhelming
Whether trust has been broken or slowly eroded, I offer a steady space to understand the hurt, name what’s needed, and begin repairing in ways that feel honest, respectful, and possible.
5. When cultural, identity, or family histories shape how you relate
I support people navigating differences in culture, upbringing, expectations, or emotional language. With cultural fluency and relational depth, I help you make sense of the stories you each carry and how they influence your relationship today.
