Hi! I'm Ruth. Let's create space for healing, connection, and growth together.

I believe that when we feel safe enough to share the fullness of our story, including our pain, worries, and hopes, something powerful begins to shift. My work centers on helping individuals, couples, and families find relief and build the kind of lives they actually want to be present for.

With a background in Marital and Family Therapy and a specialization in Art Therapy, I bring a creative, integrative lens to the therapeutic process. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples, and Art Therapy to meet each person and relationship where they are. Whether we're exploring what's underneath anxiety and depression, strengthening the bond between partners, or navigating the tender shifts of new parenthood, my approach is collaborative, warm, and rooted in your values.

Having lived abroad and among different cultures has shaped the way I show up in the therapy room. I deeply value understanding each client's unique way of seeing and experiencing the world. There is no one-size-fits-all path to healing, and I honor the cultural, relational, and personal context you carry with you.

Working With Me

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, get curious, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. I support clients in building self-compassion, reconnecting with what matters most, and breaking free from patterns that no longer serve them or their families. When one person begins to heal, the ripple effects can be felt throughout the whole family system.

I especially enjoy working with couples who want to deepen their emotional connection and strengthen their communication. I also hold a close understanding of the challenges new parents face as they navigate shifts in identity, responsibility, and daily life. And for those moving through life transitions, burnout, or cross-cultural experiences, I offer a grounding, nonjudgmental space to process and grow.

Cross-Cultural Understanding

Having lived abroad and among different cultures has deeply shaped the way I approach the therapeutic relationship. I know what it feels like to move between worlds, to carry more than one cultural lens, and to navigate the complexity of belonging in spaces that don't always make room for every part of who you are. This lived experience informs how I listen, connect, and hold space. I deeply value understanding each client's unique way of seeing and experiencing the world, and I believe that honoring your cultural context is an essential part of the healing process. Whether you identify as a Third Culture Kid, are navigating cross-cultural dynamics in your relationships, or are simply trying to make sense of where you fit, I meet you with curiosity and care.
