An emotion can signal a need or provide us with crucial information about what we’re experiencing. You feel that pang of anxiety or the desire to shut down and pull away – but what does that mean? With over 12 years of experience in mental health, I work with people who want to better understand themselves and develop more fulfilling relationships. Our work can help you make sense of your experiences and develop ways to feel more connected, calm and in control. I like to move beyond talking about challenges or changing your thoughts and move with you into more deeply exploring the key moments and experiences that have shaped you.
I have a warm and collaborative style that respects who you are and how you want to experience therapy. My areas of focus include relationship issues, parenting, boundaries and communication, anxiety, and stress. I use approaches grounded in attachment and neuroscience to help you experience and regulate emotions, express needs, and strengthen relationships.
Through my years of working closely with families, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how our lifelong patterns can develop, and the transformative power of feeling safe and connected within our selves and our relationships. You can send me an email to set up a call or learn more about how we could work together. I look forward to connecting with you!

I often use Emotionally Focused Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and take time to learn more about your needs and personal history. With EFT, we'll work on identifying, understanding, and experiencing emotions so you can learn how to manage them, build safety, and find different ways to connect and cope.
