The relationships that bring us the most joy often become our greatest sources of pain. We all want to connect, to create love, and to hold onto it, but the path to nurturing the love we truly desire isn’t always clear. If you're feeling exhausted and unsure of what else to try, you’re not alone. Many of the couples I work with have been right where you are—unsure of how to fix the issues that keep resurfacing and wondering if it's even possible to feel close again. My approach is holistic and deeply rooted in both modern relationship science and Eastern philosophy. I’ve spent over a decade studying what it means to cultivate healthy relationships—not just with others, but with ourselves. My formal training—including advanced degrees in psychology and clinical mental health, the Gottman Method, mentorship under Esther Perel, and a long-standing practice in Eastern philosophy—has equipped me to go deeper. I don’t focus on surface-level techniques or quick fixes. Instead, I work with you to uncover the underlying patterns and emotional triggers that keep you stuck, so you can begin fostering healthier, more connected relationships. Too often, we feel alone in our struggles, unsure of how to bring up delicate issues without making things worse. You may have tried talking, but it feels like nothing changes. This is often where our journey together begins—when you’ve tried everything you know, and you're not sure if you can move forward or if your relationship is even worth saving. I understand how overwhelming that place can be, but I also know there’s hope. Together, we’ll work on rebuilding connection, healing past hurts, and creating the love story you’ve always wanted to live.
