Therapy

Therapy for Individuals and Couples Seeking Mental Health Care and Relational Healing

Therapy is a form of mental health care for people experiencing emotional distress, mental health symptoms, or relational patterns that are impacting daily life. But most people don’t start therapy because they’ve neatly labeled what’s happening.

They start because something feels stuck, painful, or hard to change on their own.

Maybe you find yourself:

  • overthinking interactions and replaying them afterward

  • getting caught in the same relationship dynamics, even when you understand them logically

  • feeling anxious, shut down, or emotionally overwhelmed in close relationships

  • struggling to feel secure, even when nothing is “wrong” on paper

  • moving through a breakup, loss, or rupture that feels harder than expected to recover from

If what you’re experiencing is affecting how you feel, function, or connect with others, therapy may be an appropriate place to begin. In our work together, we’ll look at what’s happening and the patterns underneath it that keep it going.

Let's work together

  • Therapy is mental health care.

    It is a structured, clinical process designed to help you:

    • understand and treat emotional distress

    • work through patterns rooted in past and present relationships

    • develop healthier ways of coping, relating, and responding

    • improve emotional and relational functioning over time

  • Individual therapy may support you if you are experiencing:

    • anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm

    • grief or difficulty after a breakup or loss

    • trauma or lingering emotional pain from past experiences

    • recurring relationship patterns that feel hard to shift

    • difficulty feeling secure or grounded in relationships

    Couples therapy may support you if you are:

    • stuck in repeated conflict cycles

    • feeling emotionally disconnected or distant

    • struggling with communication or trust

    • trying to repair after rupture, betrayal, or ongoing tension

    • wanting to strengthen or rebuild your relationship

    I also support individuals and couples through infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

  • Individuals
    who are navigating anxiety, emotional distress, relationship patterns, or the impact of past experiences on present-day functioning and connection.

    Couples
    who are experiencing conflict, disconnection, trust ruptures, or patterns that feel difficult to change without support.

    Perinatal Clients
    who are navigating the emotional and psychological shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood, including identity changes, anxiety, depression, or relational strain during this transition.

    Individuals and Couples Facing Infertility
    who are moving through the emotional complexity of infertility, including grief, uncertainty, medical stress, and the impact it can have on identity and relationships

  • In therapy, we’ll:

    • understand the patterns shaping your relationships

    • explore the emotional dynamics underneath those patterns

    • create new ways of relating that actually feels different

  • I am a relational therapist through and through.

    That means I view emotional health as deeply connected to relationships. The way we learn to connect, protect ourselves, and respond under stress often comes from relational experiences that shaped us over time.

    My work is grounded in:

    • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

    • The Gottman Method

    These approaches help individuals and couples:

    • move out of reactive emotional cycles

    • understand the underlying patterns driving distress

    • build more secure, connected relationships

    • create lasting change in how they relate

  • Therapy with me is:

    • collaborative

    • honest

    • sometimes uncomfortable in the best way

    • always focused on meaningful, lasting change

    My clients don’t just gain insight, their relationships actually change.

  • Therapy services are available to clients located in:

    • Illinois

    • Utah
