Relationship Repair and Conflict Resolution through Couples Counseling
Relationships are complex, and even the healthiest partnerships face challenges.

My goal is to create a safe space where each partner feels heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
My Approach
I bring a warm and open approach to therapy, shaped by a unique blend of life experiences and professional training. With roots in a Swedish-English family and a childhood spent in beautiful Greece, I’ve always felt a strong connection to the richness of different cultures. I’ve traveled to over 40 countries and lived in eight, which has deepened my appreciation for the many ways we can understand ourselves and our paths in life.
In our sessions, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques to create a personalized approach that meets your needs. This includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and even elements of yoga philosophy. My background in yoga, inspired by time spent studying in India, helps me bring in gentle mindfulness and body-centered techniques to support healing from the inside out.
I see therapy as a truly holistic journey that looks at mind, body, and spirit together. My goal is to help you explore what matters most to you, find inner balance, and develop a sense of compassion for yourself along the way. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels meaningful, empowering, and uniquely yours.
