Who I work with
Couples
When the problem keeps becoming the same conversation.
We look at what keeps the conflict going, what each person is experiencing, and what the relationship needs to work differently.
Families
When the problem belongs to more than one person.
Roles, histories, caregiving, and changing expectations shape how families relate. We make those dynamics easier to see and work on what can change.
What we might work on
Some of the concerns people bring.
- Recurring relationship conflict
- Communication difficulties
- Premarital concerns
- Household labor and mental load
- Religious trauma and deconstruction
- ADHD and neurodivergence
- Family conflict and changing family roles
- Aging parents and caregiving stress
- Career and life transitions
- Pregnancy, postpartum, and maternal concerns
- Stress and burnout
How I work
Collaborative, practical, and focused on what can change.
My approach is collaborative, solutions-focused, narrative, relational, and integrative. Together we identify patterns, clarify what needs to change, build on what is already working, and develop practical next steps.
