Introduction

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply know it’s time for change, therapy can be a meaningful place to reconnect - with yourself, with others, and with the life you want to be living. I work with adults and couples who are ready to explore their emotional worlds more deeply and heal from the patterns, wounds, or experiences that may be keeping them from living fully. In individual therapy, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy and EMDR to help you process emotional pain, access your resilience, and cultivate a more secure sense of self. For couples, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) - a research-based approach that helps partners identify patterns of disconnection and restructure their emotional bond to find closeness. Together, we’ll explore the negative cycles that keep you stuck and work toward rebuilding emotional safety, communication, and lasting connection. My style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. Healing happens when we feel safe enough to show up as we are and I strive to create that kind of space in every session. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply a sense that life could feel more connected and meaningful, I’m here to walk with you. Just give me a call.
