Love is your story.
I’m here to help you write it.

I’m one of those people who loves love. Not that dramatic, rom-com “will they won’t they” type of love, but the type of love that asks us to give and grow—the love that can sustain us for decades together as partners. That passion drives my work both as a relationship therapist and a wedding officiant. Let’s talk about your love story and how I can help.

Services

Your Relationship Story Unfolds

I work with people who have chosen and invested in their growth and their relationships—you can define what that means to you. All relationships are honored here.

Relational Therapy

The particular shape and labels of your relationship are important, but not as important as your willingness to change. If you want to repair or strengthen your connection, we’re going to do good work. As an LMFT, I’m trained in providing therapy for the relationship itself, as well as for each of you as individuals.

Individual Therapy

All therapy is relational in my mind—you might not be bringing anyone into the therapy room with you, but I bet they’re occupying space in your brain. Let’s have a look at what and who has shaped you and how that’s impacting you today. Then we can figure out what shape you actually want to be.

Pre-Marital Counseling

It may sound counter-intuitive, but there’s so much value in looking for the challenges ahead of a commitment like marriage. We’ll find all those strengths that help you overcome them, too. All relationships have points of friction—it’s about learning how to show up to that friction with love.

Weddings & Ceremonies

Whether a tiny elopement or huge affair, I want your ceremony to feel like it captures who you are, what you mean to each other, and the heart of the promise you’re making. It’s a big, beautiful commitment! I would be honored to be part of sharing your love story with those who have gathered to celebrate you.
