Introduction

I help couples and individuals navigate relationship struggles, life transitions, and tough decisions. If you feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I work best with clients ready to dive deep and do the work. Whether solo or as a couple, our sessions focus on breaking personal barriers to create real, lasting change. This is about more than just talking—it’s about transforming how you relate to yourself and others. With extensive training in couples therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy, I bring a dynamic, results-driven approach to our work. I’ve also published two books for couples, providing practical tools for stronger, healthier relationships. My passion is helping people become their best selves—confident, connected, and free from what’s holding them back. If you’re looking for a direct, no-nonsense approach, you’re in the right place. With experience working with clients from over 20 countries, I get to the heart of the issue so you can start making real progress. Let’s get to work.
