Welcome! I'm an attachment-focused therapist working with clients to address symptoms and challenges that may be blocking authenticity, connection and growth. My passion lies in collaborating with clients to create a safe and attuned space that can support the exploration of painful experiences of anxiety and depression to transform them into new possibilities and ways of being over time. I specialize in relational trauma and the resulting painful patterns of low self-esteem, feelings of stuckness, or anxious-attachment.
I adopt a relational approach and use a variety of techniques such as emotion-focused, somatic practice, psychodynamic exploration and cognitive restructuring to help you better understand yourself so that you can feel more connected and empowered. I will soon be advancing my formal training in Internal Family Systems and Process-Experiential EFT.
