Emotional connection is crucial for thriving and satisfying relationships. Shame and trauma can keep us stuck in negative cycles of thought and behavior. I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups within the context of their current and prior relationships. I primarily employ Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Restoration Therapy (RT) techniques.

My practice is grounded in person-centered, relational cultural approach, and experiential approach in therapy. I view counseling as a collaborative process that honors each person’s unique cultural background, lived experiences, and inner strengths. I also integrate ecotherapy principles into my work.
