Therapy for Individuals and Couples in Scottsdale

Practical, evidence-based therapy to help you change patterns, regulate emotions, and improve relationships.

Struggling together?

You may be caught in repeated arguments, feeling disconnected, or experiencing a loss of trust. I help couples understand and shift these patterns so communication improves and connection can be rebuilt.

Struggling on your own?

You may be feeling anxious, reactive, low in mood, or overwhelmed by emotions. I help individuals develop practical skills to regulate emotions, think more clearly, and respond more effectively.

Many individual struggles and relationship problems are connected.

My work integrates relationship science influenced by Gottman Method Couples Therapy with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help you:

  • Understand patterns
  • Regulate emotions
  • Cope with distress
  • Improve communication
  • Create lasting change

This allows us to work both on what happens inside you and what happens between you and others.
