Helping You Grow the Relationships You Want to Feel at Home In

I’m a Couples Therapist and founder of Rooted Connection Counseling. I believe that meaningful relationships don’t happen by accident. They are built through understanding, communication, intentionality, and a willingness to grow together.

My work is especially focused on helping couples strengthen their connection, navigate conflict, improve communication, and understand the patterns that can leave them feeling disconnected from one another. I also work with individuals who are navigating relationships, life transitions, self-worth, boundaries, anxiety, and personal growth.

A Relationship-Focused Approach

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I look beyond the individual problem and consider the larger patterns and relationships that shape our experiences.

In couples therapy, I draw from the Gottman Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Oriented approaches. Together, we can explore the cycle you’re caught in, understand the need beneath the conflict, and develop new ways of communicating and connecting.

I don’t believe that couples need to stop disagreeing in order to have a healthy relationship. Instead, I help couples learn how to navigate differences with greater understanding, respect, and emotional safety.

For individuals, I take a similarly relational approach. We can explore how your experiences, beliefs, relationships, and patterns may be influencing the way you see yourself and connect with others.

What You Can Expect From Me

Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold, overly clinical, or like you’re being analyzed from across the room.

My approach is warm, collaborative, honest, and compassionate. I want you to feel comfortable bringing your real experiences into the room, especially the complicated, uncomfortable, or messy ones.

I won’t tell you what you should do with your relationship or your life. Instead, I’ll help you slow things down, gain clarity, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and identify meaningful steps toward the change you’re looking for.

A Little About Me

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working in health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition. Those experiences shaped my belief that meaningful change happens when we understand the whole person and not just one part of their life.

I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, graduating summa cum laude, and my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Sport Science with a minor in Psychology.

Today, I’m grateful to combine my background in wellness with my training in relational therapy to help people create healthier relationships with themselves and with the people who matter most.

You Don’t Have to Figure It Out Alone

Whether you’re a couple who keeps having the same argument, partners who feel more like roommates than lovers, individuals navigating dating or a major life transition, or simply someone who knows that something needs to change, therapy can be a place to begin.
