Licensed Therapy for Couples, Partners, and Beyond

Virtual - Washington Statewide

In-person or Walk + Talk Couples Therapy

in Bellingham, WA

Relationships are one of the greatest spaces for healing, growth, and transformation. Whether you’re navigating a marriage, a romantic partnership, a friendship, a family dynamic, a business collaboration, or preparing for a lifelong commitment through premarital counseling, this is a space to explore, reconnect, and strengthen your relationship—however it is uniquely shaped.

Even with love, care, and good intentions, relationships can bring miscommunication, emotional distance, repeating patterns, or moments of uncertainty. When connection feels strained, it’s often an invitation to look inward, understand our own relational wounds, and co-create something more aligned and intentional.

My approach to couples therapy is somatic and creative, blending deep listening, body awareness, and practical tools to help you and your partner(s) build trust, improve communication, and cultivate a relationship that is both secure and fulfilling. With years of experience in mediation, expertise in conflict management, and both lived and learned experience around conscious uncoupling, I support partners in navigating change, conflict, and reconnection with clarity, empathy, and intention.

This work is about learning to stay connected to yourself while deepening your connection with another. Sessions will explore both internal attachment healing—understanding your own emotions, needs, and patterns—and relational work, where we practice compassionate communication, emotional regulation, and tools for moving forward together.

No matter where you are in your journey, your relationship is worth exploring, honoring, and growing within. Let’s navigate this path together.

In a relationship therapy session….

As a relational therapist, my role is to facilitate relational healing by creating a compassionate and non-directive space where partners can explore their emotions, communication patterns, and relationship dynamics with curiosity and openness. I guide sessions through deep listening, reflective inquiry, and somatic awareness, helping partners identify underlying patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and develop more authentic and secure connections.

I provide psychotherapy to couples and partners in Washington State, supporting them in strengthening their relationships, deepening intimacy, and navigating challenges with greater awareness. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I may integrate EMDR therapy to help process and reduce the effects of past trauma, whether relational or otherwise, so partners can move forward with greater emotional freedom and clarity. Rather than ‘fixing’ relational complexity, I help partners embrace it, fostering self-awareness and connection so they can navigate differences with trust, resilience, and authenticity.

    Licensed Therapy for Couples, Partners, and Beyond…

    I believe our most profound healing happens in and through relationships. Whether you are seeking couples therapy, partnership counseling, or marriage support, my goal is to help you and your partner(s) strengthen your connection, deepen understanding, and navigate challenges with compassion and clarity.

    As a Gottman-trained therapist, I guide partners in cultivating connection amidst conflict, developing nonviolent communication skills, and learning practical, research-backed tools to build a resilient and fulfilling relationship. No matter how you define your relationship—whether you are married, dating, co-parenting, or in a committed partnership—this work is about growing together in a way that feels aligned and authentic to you.

    When we allow ourselves to be fully seen by one another, we begin to release shame, blame, and criticism, opening the door to genuine intimacy and trust. In our sessions, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your lived experiences, repair past ruptures, and co-create the systems needed for a relationship that is nurturing, lasting, and fulfilling.

    There is hope. Whatever shape your relationship takes, we can navigate this together.

Complement traditional counseling with alternative healing modalities:

This integrated approach harmoniously weaves together the wisdom and techniques of both modalities, providing a fertile ground for transformative healing.
