Most people don’t come to therapy because they “have anxiety.” They come because something in their life feels stuck — and often, that place is their relationships, work, life, and self identity.
I specialize in relationship-focused therapy for individuals navigating conflict, emotional distance, repeated communication breakdowns, or uncertainty about the future of their partnership. Sometimes a partner is unwilling to attend therapy. Sometimes you are unsure whether the relationship can improve. My work helps you gain clarity, emotional stability, and direction — even if your partner is not in the room.
I take a structured and direct approach. I do not simply validate feelings or revisit the same arguments. We identify the interaction patterns driving the distress, clarify attachment dynamics, and strengthen your ability to respond differently within your relationships. As emotional regulation improves, conflict becomes more predictable and less destabilizing.
Many individuals I work with initially present with anxiety, stress, or frustration, and then we discover that the root issues lie within relational patterns, self identity, career stress, and deep rooted patterns formed in early life, that have never been clearly understood. When those patterns become visible, decision-making becomes more grounded and less reactive.
If you are motivated to understand what is happening in your life, your relationships, and the patterns beneath repeated conflict, anxiety, and repeated cycles, and want a focused, intentional process, we may be a strong fit.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
