Navigating challenging family Relationships

Healing from the pain of estrangement, low contact, or disconnection

You’re here because

Life looks “good” from the outside, but it feels anything but.

Estrangement can feel like a wound that doesn’t heal—whether you’re the one who stepped away or the one left behind. I work with people on both sides of the divide, helping them make sense of what happened, navigate the grief, and explore what healing looks like—whether that means reconnection, clarity, or simply peace of mind. This work is layered, emotional, and deeply meaningful to me.

  • You’ve been cut off by a family member and are struggling to make sense of what happened

  • You’re navigating low or no contact with a parent or child, and you’re not sure how to move forward

  • You’re considering estrangement and feeling overwhelmed with guilt, grief, or uncertainty

  • You’re grieving a relationship that’s still technically “there” but no longer feels safe or meaningful

  • You feel caught in a cycle of painful interactions with a parent or child and don’t know how to shift the dynamic

  • You want to explore the deeper roots of family conflict and your own patterns with clarity and care

You’re ready to go deeper, to address what really matters, and to find a sense of fulfillment that aligns with the life you want to live

MY SPECIALTIES

I work with busy people seeking real change.

I’M A LICENSED PSYCHOTHERAPIST.

I take a no-BS approach to therapy and offer an honest, focused support to help you create real change.

Going to therapy is one of the most vulnerable things a person can do. I hold our space with the reverence and humility it deserves. I also know that people come to therapy ready to confront what’s holding them back. In our sessions, I’m here to be honest and real with you. We won’t just skim the surface—I believe in exploring what’s holding you back in a way that feels meaningful, focused, and compassionate. 

Therapy with me is about creating deep, lasting change, working through the patterns and beliefs that aren’t serving you. I’ll help you find clarity and direction. If you’re ready to dig a little deeper and discover what’s possible, I’ll be with you each step of the way.

Therapy that fits your values.
